7 The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly configured
printer. At this time, the script displays the path you should use if you
ever need to restart the daemon.
/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/<printer name> print-
fast 10001 &
The above example reflects the name supplied to the script earlier.
After the installation script is complete, you must configure the printer and
make it known to the lp system. The SCO UNIX lp system uses the lpad-
min command used to configure a printer. There is no
/etc/printcap file. The following are the commands used for printer con-
figuration.
lpadmin -p <printer name> -v /dev/nic/<printer name>
✎
Note
Your host may require you to use the
-i command to specify the model.
enable <printer name>
accept <printer name>
You can use other options in the lpadmin command. See your system
documentation for full details.
✎
Note
The printer name must be the same as the one you specified during
Network Card installation. SCO also provides the sam program, which
can be used to configure the printer.
If you use sam, make all specifications just as if the printer were connect-
ed directly to /dev/lprinter/<printer name>.
The software installed with your SCO system should be sufficient to satis-
fy most printing needs. SCO supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters that are
invoked automatically whenever PostScript is specified as the content
type. The SCO UNIX lp system also supplies interface scripts that gener-
ate PostScript banners. When necessary, you can use the lpfilter com-
mand to define new filters and content types. The installation provides you
with the full power and flexibility of the lp print service, and the fact that
you are printing across the network is totally transparent.
