SuperScript 870 — Network User’s Guide

Your screen will now display the information you
provided the install script. For example,
Node name of the NIC:
superscript
Printer name to be used:
<printer_name>
Do you want to accept this configuration?
Type:
yes
and press
ENTER
.

The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly
configured printer. It also displays the path you should
use if you ever need to restart the daemon. In the
preceding example, the path would be:
/usr/nic/nic_print /dev/nic/printer_name superscript
10001 &
note:
When you reboot your PC, it may be necessary to
reload the daemon manually using the command
mentioned above.
This example reflects names supplied in the script
earlier.
When the installation script is complete, you must still
configure the printer and make it known to the lp sys-
tem.
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 NIC 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.
The software installed with your SCO system can satisfy
most of your printing needs. Use the
lpfilter
command
to define new filters and content types if necessary.
