Hi ,
I am trying to setup a Calcomp Techjet Plotter as a network plotter.
I have installed a Calcomp 971i ethernet card into the plotter and updated the
firmware. The plotter has been sucessfully set up under Novell Netware ( so
the card seems ok).
I am trying to set it up to access it from my Alphastation 255 4/233 running
DU 3.2 D-1 Rev 42.
I have set upthe printer in the /etc/hosts as follows
192.1.1.11 techjet.coillte.ie techjet # calcomp techjet plotter
I have added an entry into /etc/hosts.equiv /etc/hosts.lpd /.rhosts
techjet.coillte.ie
I added
arp -u techjet 00:C0:E0:00:12:15
I then telnet'd to techjet
telnet techjet 2002
I 192.1.1.11
R
to set the IP address
My /etc/printcap entry is
techjetn:\
:lp=:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=techjet.coillte.ie:\
:rp=ascii:\
:sd=/usr/spool/calcomp:\
:sf:
I then run
# lpc
#lpc> restart all
#lpc> enable all
then
# lpr -P techjetn sample.txt
I then get the following:
# lpstat -t
System default destination: lp
Scheduler is running
Output for printer techjetn is sent to remote printer ascii on techjet.coillte.ie
techjetn:
printer is on remote host techjet.coillte.ie with name ascii
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
no daemon present
Requests on techjetn:

no entries
Nothing appears on the plotter. Any advice would be VERY welcome.
Thanks in advance
