About UNIX/Linux filters
In the Client Utilities CD-ROM, the following filters for UNIX/Linux workstations are included:
net_kycolor
This file is a shell script that will be installed in “/usr/lib/lp/model”. It contains all the parsing for the printer specific
commands and it generates all the output code. Being a shell script, a system administrator can modify it if a site requires
any custom options or if other components are installed in non-standard locations.
lpdsend
This is an executable program that is called by net_kycolor to send the print file to the system using the LPD protocol.
This program will be installed in “/opt/HS_Series/tap/bin”.
lpLinux.sh (Linux filter only)
This file is a shell script that simulates the command line functions of lp. After processing the command line options, the
HS filter is invoked in the same way as a System V print filter. This file is installed in “/opt/HS_Series/tap/bin”. A symbolic
link to this file will be installed in the “/usr/local/bin” directory as lptap.
kycolorBackend (AIX filter only)
This is an executable program that is called by the AIX qdaemon. It receives the arguments from the qdaemon,
interrogates it for copy information etc. then calls the queues' copy of net_kycolor to run the print. This program will be
installed in “/opt/HS_Series/tap/bin”.
kycoloradd
This file is a shell script that is used to create a printer description. This file will be installed in “/opt/HS_Series/tap/bin”. A
symbolic link will be installed in the “/bin” directory that will point to the actual location of this file.
kycolorrm
This file is a shell script that is used to remove a printer description. This file will be installed in “/opt/HS_Series/tap/bin”. A
symbolic link will be installed in the “/bin” directory that will point to the actual location of this file.
net_kycolor.1
This is an input file for the man command that supplies online documentation for the printer specific options. This file will
be installed in “/opt/HS_Series/tap/man/man1”. A symbolic link will be installed in the /usr/man/man1 directory that will
point to the actual location of this file.

System requirements
For UNIX/Linux workstation, the following environment is required.
OS:
Sun Solaris v2.6/2.7/7.8/8/9
HP-UX ver.10.20/11.x
IBM AIX 4.3.3
SCO UnixWare 7
SCO OpenUnix 8
Red Hat Linux 7.x/8.0/9.x
Red Hat Linux Enterprise WS2
SuSE Linux ver.7.x/8.x/9.x
Mandrake Linux ver.7.x./8.x/9.x
Turbo Linux 8/10
Protocol: TCP/IP
Module: Python must be installed.
y
The “Python” module must be installed on your UNIX/Linux workstation to enable printing. The “Python” module is
usually installed in the “/usr/bin/” directory. Check this directory whether the “Python” module is installed.
y
The lpd service must be running on Linux system.
y
Printing using local port is provided via Samba. Printing via Samba is performed through either IPv4 or IPv6. To
perform printing by using a local port that specifies IPv6, IPv6 should be selected on Samba.
