UNIX Configuration 7-21
3.
What is the node name of the EcoLAN 2000E?
Type the name assigned in the /etc/hosts file and press ENTER. For example,
printfast
4.
What is the printer name for this EcoLAN 2000E-linked printer?
Type a printer name and press ENTER.
5.
Your screen will now display the information you provided the install script. For
example:
Node name of the EcoLAN 2000E: printfast
Printer name to be used: <printer_name>
The printer is attached on: PORT 1
Do you want to accept this configuration? Type yes or no and press ENTER.
6.
Is this printer PostScript?
Type yes or no and press ENTER.
7.
The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly configured printer . It
also displays the path used should you ever need to restart the daemon. In the pre-
ceding example, the path would be:
/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/printer_name printfast
10001 &
This example reflects names supplied the script earlier.
When the installation script is complete, you must still configure the printer and make
it known to the lp system.
The SCO UNIX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to configure a
printer (there is no /etc/printcap file). The specific commands to do this are:
lpadmin -p printer_name -v /dev/nic/printer_name
Note:
Your host may require you to specify the model by using the -i command.
enable printer_name
accept printer_name
You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See your system
documentation for details. Note that the printer name must be the same as the one you
entered during EcoLAN 2000E installation. SCO supplies the sam program as an
alternative to configure the printer.
When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected to /dev/
nic/printer_name.
