Installing and Printing on SCO UNIX
After loading the software from the 870 Network Options
CD, 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 NIC print
server utilities for your particular system and prompts
you for information as needed.
One of the questions posed by the install script is
whether the printer is a PostScript printer. You have to
answer no because the 870 printer does not support
PostScript language. Then the install script uses an
input filter (infilter) that supplies CR/LF translation to
print ASCII files on a PCL printer.
2.
Select your system. Choose one of these options.
1) AT&T/SVR4; 386
2) SCO UNIX System V
