About UNIX Filters
In the Client Utilities CD-ROM, the following filters for UNIX workstations are included:
net_est451c
This file is a shell script that will be installed in “/usr/lib/lp/model”. It contains all the pars-
ing for the printer specific commands and it generates all the output code. Being a shell
script, a system administrator can modify it if a site requires any custom options or if
other components are installed in non-standard locations.
lpdsend
This is an executable program that is called by net_est451c to send the print file to the
system using the LPD protocol. This program will be installed in “/opt/toshiba/tap/bin”.
lpLinux.sh (Linux filter only)
This file is a shell script that simulates the command line functions of lp. After process-
ing the command line options, the e-STUDIO filter is invoked in the same way as a Sys-
tem V print filter. This file is installed in “/opt/toshiba/tap/bin”. A symbolic link to this file
will be installed in the “/usr/local/bin” directory as lptap.
est451cBackend (AIX filter only)
This is an executable program that is called by the AIX qdaemon. It receives the argu-
ments from the qdaemon, interrogates it for copy information etc. then calls the queues'
copy of net_est451c to run the print. This program will be installed in “/opt/toshiba/tap/
bin”.
est451cadd
This file is a shell script that is used to create a printer description. This file will be
installed in “/opt/toshiba/tap/bin”. A symbolic link will be installed in the “/bin” directory
that will point to the actual location of this file.
est451crm
This file is a shell script that is used to remove a printer description. This file will be
installed in “/opt/toshiba/tap/bin”. A symbolic link will be installed in the “/bin” directory
that will point to the actual location of this file.
est451c.1
This is an input file for the man command that supplies online documentation for the
printer specific options. This file will be installed in “/opt/toshiba/tap/man/man1”. A sym-
bolic link will be installed in the /usr/man/man1 directory that will point to the actual loca-
tion of this file.
