[. . . ] A 68 Printing Configurations BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution)-Style Print Queue BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution)-Style Print Queue BSD is a version of the UNIX OS that distributes software that includes TCP/IP. Configuring the Print Queue For remote BSD-style LPD printing, add the PSII as a remote printer in the /etc/printcap database to each host printing to the PSII. If you are unfamiliar with these options, consult the printer documentation. Important · You must be logged in as root. The entry looks similar to this: local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_manufacturer]:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=ZebraNet_name:\ :rp=remote_print_queue_name:\ :sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just log_file_name local_print_queue_name -- This defines the name of the printcap entry. It is used by the LPR/LPD utilities to specify which printcap entry is being referenced. Additional printcap entries can be added as needed for different queue types. Each entry must have a unique local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory to work properly. When you are ready to print, use the local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of the file to be printed. This must be the same name as entered in the /etc/ hosts file or your NIS or DNS system. remote_print_queue_name -- This entry determines the ZebraNet port where the print job will be printed and optionally specifies ASCII printing that must end for LF1. path_to_spool_directory -- This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will be spooled for this queue. log_file_name -- This is the path to a file where error information from the LPD will be logged. Example · Your printcap entries might look similar to this: Ascii_files|form. feed. Queue_on_Port_1:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1:\ :lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1/queue. log Important · Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work properly. 45537L-004 Rev. A ZebraNet PrintServer II User Guide 4/19/07 Printing Configurations System V Queue Installation 69 System V Queue Installation Configuring Operating System V Queue for ZebraNet Printing This section describes the configuration of the printing system on the UNIX operating system. For clarity and brevity, the following specific names are used to represent general devices or concepts. lj4 -- The local queue name on the UNIX system to which you want PSII print jobs directed. ZEBRAPRINTER -- The host name or IP address of the remote system that is the PSII device. For example, to Telnet to the PSII and invoke the PSII configuration utility, you would enter: Telnet ZEBRAPRINTER A host name is not required for the PSII -- the IP address can be used. yourqueuename -- This is the name of the queue on the ZebraNet and must end with LF1. Prerequisites Before you proceed, the following prerequisites must be met: · The name ZEBRAPRINTER and the IP address assigned to the PSII are in the /etc/hosts file on the UNIX system. · The LPD must be running on the UNIX system. UNIX Configuration To configure the UNIX machine so users can spool print jobs to the PCL print queue on the ZebraNet named ZEBRAPRINTER, complete these steps: 1.
