UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP

Installing

TCP/IP

If Not Running lpd

Filters

There will be certain options in executing the script for various systems.

PostScript UNIX Printing

The installation script can create an entry in the

/etc/printcap

file for your

printer:

ASCII, PCLfiles

If your printer is not a PostScript printer, the install script uses an input filter
(infilter) that supplies CR/LF translation to print ASCII files on a PCL
printer.

If your printer is a PostScript printer, your printcap file will reference
psfilter which offers easy ASCII-to-PostScript conversion. Normal
PostScript format files are not affected. Proprietary and public domain
filters are available for broader filtering capabilities.

PSBanner

The NC-2 Print Server ships with an input filter called psbanner, an output
filter to print PostScript banners.

You may change infilter or outfilter entries in the

/etc/printcap

file.

The following is a sample printcap entry using these filters:

<print_name> | Print Server printer:\

:lp=/dev/nic/<printer_name>:\

:if=/usr/nic/psfilter:\

:of=/usr/nic/psbanner:\

:sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:
