If this file exists in the user’s home directory, it is parsed and the values are
reflected in the rcutil GUI controls or widgets.
In this version of the driver, the settings file is unique in the user’s home directory,
named as .f533rc. The user may have installed the driver in different Unix or Linux
systems, yet the user’s home directory is the same. Therefore, all settings saved in
one system will still be available in another system. In order to avoid confusion, the
settings file may be deleted or its content deleted to allow the driver to reset to the
default settings from the PPD configuration file.
The rcutil provides the capability to save settings to the settings file. It can be
used to create the settings file. To do the actual printing, use the lp command to
send the print documents to the printer.
During printing, the settings file is parsed and the values passed to the CORE UNIX
filter to apply the features in the print out. The settings saved in the settings file will
affect the actual print job.
Further, options can also be passed to the CORE UNIX filter through the lp
command. Command line options takes precedence over the settings saved in the
settings file.
The rcutil configuration program only saves the changed (or non-default) settings.
Only the settings that differ from the PPD default settings are saved to the settings
file. The PPD default settings are not saved. The CORE UNIX filter knows the default
settings when it loads as it reads in the default settings from the PPD file. The CORE
UNIX filter only needs to know the new (non-default) settings to apply to the print
job. The settings file serves as a record of the settings that the user wants preserved
for the next print job.
User Home Directory Access Restrictions
During printing, the lpd printing system through the lp system account must be
able to access the .f533rc settings file. Being that the settings file is maintained in
the user’s home directory, the user’s home directory itself must be accessible to lp.
Otherwise, the Unix filter will fail to retrieve the saved settings and so no features
will be applied on to the print job.
The user’s home directory must have an “executable” attribute for users of type
others. That is, the last attribute of the directory must show an x. It must be
something like dabcabcabx where a can be a - or r for readable, b can be - or w for
writable and c can be a - or x for executable. The last attribute is the c but is
