Installing the Unix TAR File
Considerations and Limitations
„
This print model acts only as a filter and not as a complete driver. You
cannot modify the size and order of the printed pages.
„
The UNIX filters do not support the following engine-supplied
features:
„
Magazine Sort
„
Saddle-stitch
„
N-Up
„
Watermarks
„
Cover Sheets
„
Sheet Insertion
„
You must have root privileges to install the required files.
„
Linux uses the
lpipc
command to send a file to a printer. Since
lp
is
not supported in all versions of Linux, use the
lpipc
command
instead.
„
AIX supports printing using the
qdaemon
. Invoke this daemon with
the commands
lp
,
lpr
, or
qprt
. To use the ipc1 filter, use either
lp
or
qprt
.
Supplied Components
„ net_ipc1im8130
: This file is a shell script installed in
/usr/lib/lp/
model/net_ipc1im8130
. It contains the parsing data for the
controller specific commands and generates the output code. Being a
shell script, a system administrator can modify it, if a site requires
any custom options or if other components are installed in non-
standard locations.
„ lpdsend
: This is an executable program called by
net_ipc1im8130
to
send the print file to the controller using the LPD protocol. This
program is installed in
/opt/imagistics/tap/bin/lpdsend
.
„ lpLinux.sh
(Linux filter only): This file is a shell script that simulates
the command line functions of
lp
. After processing the command line
options, the ipc1 filter is invoked in the same way as a System V print
filter. This file is installed in
/opt/imagistics/tap/bin/
lpLinux.sh
. A symbolic link to this file is installed in the
/usr/
local/bin
directory as
lpipc
.
