book, simply run it as you would run any other executable program. The
result from this step is a printable PostScript file with a file extension of
.ps.

3.

Ensure that your default printer is a PostScript printer capable of printing
Level 1 (or equivalent) files.

4.

Enter the following command from a command line:

print filename.ps

On UNIX-based platforms:

1.

Mount the CD-ROM. Refer to your Quick Beginnings manual for the
procedures to mount the CD-ROM.

2.

Change to /cdrom/doc/%L/ps directory on the CD-ROM, where /cdrom is
the mount point of the CD-ROM and %L is the name of the desired locale.
The manuals will be installed in the previously-mentioned directory with
file names ending with .ps.Z.

3.

Decompress and print the manual you require using the following
command:
v For AIX:

zcat filename | qprt -P PSPrinter_queue

v For HP-UX, Solaris, or SCO UnixWare 7:

zcat filename | lp -d PSPrinter_queue

v For Linux:

zcat filename | lpr -P PSPrinter_queue

v For Silicon Graphics IRIX:

zcat < filename | lp -d PSPrinter_queue

where filename is the full path name and extension of the compressed
PostScript file and PSprinter_queue is the name of the PostScript printer
queue.

For example, to print the English version of DB2 for UNIX Quick
Beginnings
on AIX, you can use the following command:

zcat /cdrom/doc/en/ps/db2ixe60.ps.Z || qprt -P ps1
