7.4.8 Installing & Printing on a SCO UNIX System
Installation and setup is similar for HP/UX and SCO UNIX systems. The EcoLAN
2000E solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes
nicfilter directly from the printer interface file.
After completing software download in Section 7.4.1 Loading the Software on page
13 you must configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. Follow the
steps below:
1.
Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.
The script automatically downloads the correct EcoLAN 2000E utilities for your
particular system and prompts you for information as needed.
2.
Select your system. Choose one from these options:
1) AT&T/SVR4; 386
2) SCO UNIX System V
3) None of the above
Type 1, 2, or 3 and press ENTER.
