Example 2: Configuring the SunOS 4.1.3 Print Spooler for Sun SPARCstations
(serial interface)
In order to perform the following steps you must be a superuser.
1 Create a directory for print spooling. All application users need read and write
permission for this directory. For example, from the command line of a shell, type
mkdir /usr/spool/cad
chmod 777 /usr/spool/cad
2 Edit the
/etc/printcap
file to set up the plotter configuration. You must assign a
name to each printer or plotter managed by the print spooler. Refer to the example
below if you need help completing this step.
3 Add these lines to your
/etc/printcap
file if:
your plotter is named djet, and
your plotter is connected to the device named /dev/ttya (usually the first serial
port on the workstation), and
the spooling directory you created in step 1 is called
/usr/spool/cad
.
# Entry for an HP plotter on a serial port
djet:\
:lp=/dev/ttya:sd=/usr/spool/cad:br#9600:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lpd–errs:\
:sf:sh:mx#0:xc#0177777:xs#040040:fc#050:\
:ms=–evenp:
4 Make sure the plotter’s baud rate is 9600 and parity is even.
