Installation for the system is done. The program prompts you to
configure any more printers. Type

We suggest pinging the NIC to test communications.

Like all BSD systems, ULTRIX uses the /etc/printcap file to config-
ure a printer. The interface to the installation script is the same for
all BSD systems, however, the printcap entry is different.

If you use the printcap entry generated automatically by the installa-
tion script, this will be transparent to you.
