Configuring for a Berkeley UNIX Host
Berkeley UNIX host computers include Linux, Digital Equipment Corporation Digital
UNIX, OSF/1, and ULTRIX; Compaq Tru64 UNIX; SunOS (not Solaris), SCO UNIX;
and many others. Sun Solaris, HP-UX, and IBM AIX users should skip to the
appropriate sections later in this chapter.
Note: Do not use the Linux X-Windows graphical user interface printer configuration
utility because it does not work with the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter. Instead, Linux users
should follow the configuration steps listed in this section.
Note: SCO UNIX users should use the ripconf command to create a printer and
automatically configure the /etc/printcap file (you still need to edit the /etc/hosts file).
Enter the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter’s service name (INTERMEC_
nnnnnn _P1 where
nnnnnn is the last six digits of the MAC address) as the name of the printer (refer to the
EasyLAN 10i2 adapter’s test label for the exact name of this service), and enter the
name of the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter that you assigned in the etc/hosts file as the remote
host name. Note that because this name must be unique for each printer, we recommend
using the INTERMEC_
nnnnnn _P1 service instead of the normal BINARY_P1 service.
To configure for a Berkeley UNIX host
1. Edit the /etc/hosts file (or equivalent local host table). For example:
192.189.207.33 imcprinter
2. Edit the printcap file. For example:
LabelPrinter :\
:lp=:\
:rm= IMCD :\
:rp=
BINARY_P1
:\
:sd=/usr/spool/ LabelPrinter :
where:
LabelPrinter is the queue name.
IMC matches the name in the hosts file.
BINARY_P1 is the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter’s service name. Use TEXT_P1
instead of BINARY_P1 for text files.
sd is the spool directory.
3. Create the spool directory. The lpd spool directory is usually located in the
/usr/spool directory. To create a new spool directory, use the mkdir command. For
example:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/ LabelPrinter
