Chapter 6 Ethernet Print Service (for UNIX)
Registering the Remote Printer
For printing using the lpr command, both the host system and the remote printer
must be registered on the client workstation.
Although the registration information depends on the system, the logical device
names on the workstation must correspond with the logical printers on the Xerox
6030/6050 Wide Format printer system.
SunOS 5.X
For SunOS 5.X, register the remote printer using the lpadmin command.
• Executing the lpadmin command
In the example below, the Xerox 6030/6050 Wide Format printer system with the
host name
[oklahoma] is registered.
If the printer devices plt00h, plt01h, and plt02h are specified, they are sent to the
logical printers PLT00H, PLT01H, and PLT02H of
[oklahoma].
In this example, the printer devices plt00h, plt01h, and plt02h are created new
and set up. The Xerox 6030/6050 Wide Format printer system has 100 logical
printers for each supported data format. Therefore, 100 entries can also be set
using the lpadmin command.
Refer to the "Main Printing Functions" section in "2.1 Overview of the 6030/
6050/6050A Wide Format Printer" for logical printer.
You need to have root user privileges to use the lpadmin command.
For details of the lpadmin command, see SunOS 5.X User Guide.
#lpadmin -p plt00h -s oklahoma!PLT00H
#lpadmin -p plt01h -s oklahoma!PLT01H
#lpadmin -p plt02h -s oklahoma!PLT02H
If csh is used, enter "\!" instead of "!" in the above to prevent the character "!"
and subsequent characters from being replaced by the command log.
You can register the remote printer using the admintool prepared by SunOS.
To register the remote printer, select the menu [Printer Manager] > [Edit] >
[Add Printer] > [Add Access to Remote Printer]. Specify a logical printer name
PLT00H in Printer Name, a host name 6050 WF in Printer Server, and BSD in
Print Server OS.
