7.4.3 Manual Selection of Filters

The EcoLAN 2000E ships with an input filter called psfilter and an output filter called
psbanner to print PostScript banners.

You may wish to change infilter or outfilter entries in the /etc/printcap file. The
following is a sample printcap entry using these filters:

<print_name> | EcoLan 2000E printer:\

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

:if=/usr/nic/psfilter:\

:of=/usr/nic/psbanner:\

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

7.4.4 Installing and Printing on Ver. 1 Solaris and OSF1 Systems

Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

The script automatically downloads the correct EcoLAN 2000E utilities for your

What is the node name of the Print Server unit?

Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts. For example: printfast and press
ENTER.

What is the printer name?

Type the desired printer name and press ENTER.

Your screen will now display the information you provided to the install script.

Printer name to be used: <printer_name>

The printer is attached on: PORT 1

You are asked to OK this configuration. Type yes or no and press ENTER.
