When using
sam
, specify everything as if the printer were
directly connected to /dev/lprprinter/printer_name.
The software installed with your HP system can satisfy most
of your printing needs. HP supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters
and the system will invoke them automatically if you define
the content type of the printer as PostScript. The HP/UX lp
system also supplies interface scripts that produce PostScript
banners. Use the
lpfilter
command to define new filters and
content types if necessary. The full power and flexibility of
the lp print service is now available to you. The fact that you
are printing across the network is completely transparent.
Installing and Printing on a System V
(Solaris Ver. 2)/System V Rel. 4 386-based Machine
Installation and setup is exactly the same for System V Solaris
and SVR4 i386-based machines. Solution uses a network
direct filter called
nicfilter
. The system invokes nicfilter
directly from the printer interface file.
After completing software download in the section
Loading
the Software
(page 5-32) you must configure the printer and
make it known to the lp system.
1. Run the Installation script by typing:
nicinst
.
The script automatically downloads the correct NIC
utilities for your particular system and prompts you for
information as needed.
Note
The printer name must be the same as the one you entered
during the NIC installation. HP supplies the sam program as
an alternative to configure the printer.
