UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP

Installing

TCP/IP

If Not Running lpd

Installing and Printing on Ver. 1 Solaris and OSF1 Systems

1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

The script automatically downloads the correct Print Server utilities for
your particular system and prompts you for information as needed.

2. What is the node name of the Print Server unit?

Type the node name entered in

/etc/hosts

For example, type: printfast, then press Enter.

3. What is the printer name? Type desired printer name, then press Enter.

4. The screen displays install script information you provided, as for
example:

Node name of the Print Server: printfast

Printer name to be used: <printer_name>

The printer is attached on: PORT1

When asked to OK this configuration, type yes or no, then press Enter.

5. The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just configured.
The screen displays the entry and asks if you want the script to append it to
your

/etc/printcap

file. See below for a sample printcap file.

Type yes or no, then press Enter.
If you type no, you may perform manual edits.

In your

/etc/printcap

file, be sure not to change the name of the device

given NC-2 Print Server in Step 2. You must reference the same lp: entry
you wrote on the lp command line of the printcap file. For example:

<printer_name> | Print Server printer:\

:lp=/dev/<printer_name>:\

:if=/usr/nic/infilter:\

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

Except for the first line, all printcap entries must be prefaced with a tab.
