SuperScript 870 — Network User’s Guide
Installing and Printing on Solaris 2.x
1.
Run the Installation script by typing:
nicinst
. Once
the operating system has been identified, the script
downloads the files for your particular system, to the
/usr/nic
directory, and prompts you for information
as needed.
2.
Type
cp /usr/spool/lp/model/standard
/usr/nic/port1_interface
note:
Use of this default interface in most cases will
suffice for generic or routine printing of most PCL and
ASCII files. To use a printer specific interface other than
the default interface script (named standard), you must
have a copy of that printer interface edited and installed
in the /usr/nic directory.
Next, you will need to edit the printer interface program
you created.
3.
Type
cd /usr/nic
and using an editor, open and edit the
port1_interface file.
4.
Search for
FILTER=
and insert the following line above
or below the
# FILTER="${LPCAT}
section of the file.
Comment (using the
#
sign) any other FILTER entries
present in this section of the file.
FILTER="/usr/nic/infilter| /usr/nic/
nicfilter <printer NIC name> 10001"
The
<printer NIC name>
must be the same as the
one present in the
/etc/hosts
file. Optional
arguments to be inserted after the 10001 entry and
before the trailing <
“>
are
${banner}
${user_name}
${request_ID}
${files}
.
For further explanation of these and the statement
above, refer to the System 5 Release 4 System
Administration Manual.
5.
Save the file and close the editor.
You need to configure the host-side printer using
lpadmin.
