Installing and Printing on System V (Solaris Ver. 2)/System V
Rel. 4 386-based Machine
Installation and setup is exactly the same for System V Solaris and SVR4
i386-based machines.
Solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes
nicfilter directly from the printer interface file.
After completing the software download in Loading the Software, you must
configure the printer and make it known to the lp system.
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. Select your system by choosing one of the following options:
1) AT&T/SVR4; 386
2) SCO UNIX System V
3) None of the above
Type 1, 2, or 3, then press Enter.
3. You have now installed TCP/IP on the NC-2 Print Server.
Copy your interface file.
(/usr/nic is a good place to keep your copy).
4. Edit the printer interface program this printer uses to redirect output to
the NC-2 Print Server. Then, configure your printer using lpadmin.
In most cases you would use the default interface script named standard
(usually found in the
/usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/model
directory).
If you wish to use an interface tuned to a specific printer, you must have a
copy of the interface file for the port you want to initialize. For example:
cp /usr/spool/lp/model/standard /usr/nic/port1_interface
