Hi,
I got OSF 3.2, lps 5.0 and one Printserver 32.
In the moment spooling for the lps32 is done over ultrix with lps 3.x .
On this Ultrix System there are several Printqueues being set up with the
most commonly used printer characteristics (simplex,duplex) to enable
any lpr client using these Printqueues and there is no need to install any
further lps software on any client. -- This worked ok -
I got there a printcap entry like
laser1psa41side|lp4|ps1side|psa41side:\
:ct=network:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/iplpscomm laser1 %U %H %J:\
:pp=pr_call %x %D %F %O %W %L %T:\
:ps=LPS:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser1psa41side:\
:uv=4.0:\
:Da=postscript:\
:Dl=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/lps_v3.a:\
:Or=portrait:\
:Sd=a4:\
:Si=one_sided_simplex:
PROBLEM:
Now I want to move this function to the OSF System acting as a Printspooler
and setting up Printqueues which should be accessible through the printcap
by any lpr/lpd client but I don't find any way to set up a queue with
characteristics like simplex or eg. different tray selections for banner page
and the rest of the job. (the lps 32 is by default set up in duplex mode)
Should I manipulate the banner sheet file (how) because any Job must use
a banner sheet and this is the only point I've found.
Installing any lps software on any further client is no solution.
Thanks in advance
Rainer
