Enabling lpr print utilities for UNIX workstations
The following section provides information specific to Sun OS 4.0
and 4.1x, and Solaris environments.
SunOS 4.0 and 4.1x
To enable lpr print utilities, you need to edit the /etc/printcap file.
Each entry in a printcap file describes a printer; each entry is a
line consisting of a number of fields separated by colons (:). The
first entry for each printer gives the names that are known for the
printer, separated by vertical bars (|). You can continue entries
onto multiple lines by making a backslash (\) the last character of
a line, and you can include empty fields for readability.
The parameters required to enable lpr utilities on UNIX systems
that support lpr to submit jobs to DocuPrint are as follows:
•
rp
—virtual printer name. By default, when a printing system
is installed, a single virtual printer is created with the name of
the printer.
•
rm
—machine name for the printer controller (from the /etc/
hosts file, NIS, or domain name service).
•
sd
—spool directory. Choose a spool directory with sufficient
free space to accommodate the largest document you want
to print.
•
mx
—maximum file size. Enter 0 (zero) for unlimited file size
to avoid truncating files being sent to the printer.
•
lp
—device name. Use an empty string (lp=:).
NOTE: To define multiple DocuPrint or DocuColor NPS/IPS
printers on a network, “rm” must have an “sd” assigned for
each printer. Otherwise, the status commands will report all
jobs sent to one printer only.
