2-18 Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
The following example shows printcap entries for a printer
named “Perfector.” The printer controller is registered as
“perfector.” An additional virtual printer, “Perfector-duplex,” is
defined for duplex printing.
Solaris
The following instructions are specific to the operation of Solaris
lp for submission to the printer. Submission using lp on the
DocuPrint controller is
NOT
supported.
NOTE: The printer controller Sun operating system is based on
the standard Sun operating system; however, it has been
customized for use with the Xerox printer controller. Therefore,
not all standard Sun operating system features are available.
While the instructions for editing the /etc/printcap file are generic
for SunOS 4.x UNIX systems using lpr, the systems that use lp
operate differently on each UNIX platform. Solaris administrators
should consult their man pages or the Solaris Answerbook for
more information on the commands used below. Solaris
Admintool is
NOT
recommended, because the “remote system
type” option is not supported.
At the client, login as
root
(except lpstat).
• To start the print service:
/etc/init.d/lp start
• To stop the print service:
/etc/init.d/lp stop
• To identify the DocuPrint and its type:
lpsystem -t bsd -T 1 -R 1 -y
“description of printer”
NPS/
IPS_hostname
where:
– -t bsd defines the DocuPrint system as a berkeley spooler
– -T 1 defines the timeout parameter
– -R 1 defines the retry parameter
– -y ascii field for
“description of printer”
must be in quotes
