su
<applicable password>
lpsystem -t bsd tektext
lpadmin -p tektext -s tektext!PS -I postscript
lpshut
/usr/lib/lpsched
enable tektext
accept tektext
6. Only send PostScript files to this printer. The “postprint” command can be used
to create a PostScript file from a text file. Use the following command to test the
printer by creating a PostScript file and sending it to the printer:
/usr/lib/lp/postscript/postprint <filename> |
lp -onobanner -dtektext
For example, enter the following to print the “/etc/hosts” file:
/usr/lib/lp/postscript/postprint /etc/hosts |
lp -onobanner -dtektext
If the file is already a PostScript file, use the following command to send it to
the printer:
lp -onobanner -dtektext <filename>
