Printing Setup On Sys V

175

Printing Setup On Sys V

This setup involves any Unix operating system using System V print spooling

(e.g., SCO, Solaris



, DG/UX



, Sun 2.5.x, 2.6, 2.7 and similar, etc.). This

means an interface file is used for each defined printer and in the case of any

System V print setup involving a LineJet Print Server, the RSHD protocol is

used to transfer data from the host to the print server.

To manually configure a new System V printer on a Unix station, create a

dummy device file that acts as a locking mechanism between contending print

jobs.

Sys V printing is characterized by use of the lp printer interface program,

lpsched

printer scheduler, and the use of an interface file. The file

lpadmin

is used in setting up the print queue definition. As of Sun 2.6 and on, the

interface file

netstandard

is provided in a generic interface file intended for

network print servers such as the LineJet Print Server. Also as of Sun 2.6 the

ability to print to a socket (sometimes called raw tcp) or a remote printer

(

dest

for LineJet) is provided.

Root access is required to use

lpshut

(stop the print scheduler to add a new

printer with

lpadmin

lpsched

and

lpadmin

For the following example, assume the print queue to be created is

lobby

and the ping-able IP Address name of the LineJet is

LJ_PS1

, and you wish to

print to remote printer (dest)

d1prn

on LJ_PS1. As always with Unix,

commands are case-sensitive. Also, be sure to use the

bourne

korn

shell,

not the

cshell

when using the commands.

The command structure:

- stop print scheduler

- use

lpadmin

to describe print queue (often referred to as the

logical Unix printer of the same name)

- start the print scheduler

- enable the print queue

- accept the print queue (allow it to accept print jobs)

- do a test print

Several examples are shown below.

Example 1: Using the dest d1prn (Sun 2.5.x)

lpshut

lpsystem -t bsd lobby

lpadmn -p lobby -v/dev/null

(gives file locking)

lpadmin -p lobby -i/usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard

lpadmin -p lobby -sLJ_PS1!d1prn

lpsched

enable lobby

accept lobby
