Hi all,
I have started playing (working diligently) with the "TELNET printing"
features of DU4.0 in this case 4.0a
However the Printer TCP/IP Socket Numbers section has got me stuffed...
I want to connect to a TI Microlaser (set on HPII) which sits on pr2(pr6)
of an AXIS560 printserver. The printserver has an IP and the printer has
been in use for quite some time, just not from this Digital Box.
I go through lprsetup;
Digital UNIX Printer Setup Program
Command < add modify delete exit view quit help >: add
Adding printer entry, type '?' for help.
Enter printer name to add [2] : wtest
For more information on the specific printer types
Enter `printer?'
Enter the FULL name of one of the following printer types:
cp382d dl1152w dl510ka dl5100w ep1050+ fx80 fx1050 hpIIP
hpIIIP hpIIID hpIV hp4M ibmpro la50 la70 la75
la84 la86 la88 la88c la90 la280 la324 la380

ln06 ln06r ln07 ln07r ln08 ln08r ln09
ln10ja
ln14 ln82r nec290 xf remote unknown
or press RETURN for [unknown] : unknown
(we use unknown all the time for lpadmin commands on sol2.5)
Using 'unknown' for printer type, OK? [ n ] y
Enter printer synonym: wtest
Set device pathname 'lp' [] ? _at_137.166.78.99/wtest
Do you want to capture print job accounting data ([y]|n)?
Set accounting file 'af' [/usr/adm/lp2acct] ? /usr/adm/wtest-acct
Set spooler directory 'sd' [/usr/spool/lpd2] ? /usr/spool/wtest
Set printer error log file 'lf' [/usr/adm/lp2err] ? /usr/adm/wtest-err
Enter the name of the printcap symbol you wish to modify. Other
valid entries are:
'q' to quit (no more changes)
'p' to print the symbols you have specified so far
'l' to list all of the possible symbols and defaults
The names of the printcap symbols are:
af br cf ct df dn du fc ff fo fs gf ic if lf lo
lp mc mx nc nf of op os pl pp ps pw px py rf rm
rp rs rw sb sc sd sf sh st tf tr ts uv vf xc xf
xs ya yd yj yp ys yt Da Dl It Lf Lu Ml Nu Or Ot
Ps Sd Si Ss Ul Xf
Enter symbol name: ct
Enter a new value for symbol 'ct'? [none] tcp
New 'ct' is 'tcp', is this correct? [y]
Enter symbol name: q
Printer #2
----------
Symbol type value
------ ---- -----
af STR /usr/adm/wtest-acct
ct STR tcp
if STR /usr/lbin/lpf
lf STR /usr/adm/wtest-err
lp STR _at_137.166.78.99/wtest
mx INT 0
of STR /usr/lbin/lpf
pl INT 66
pw INT 80
sd STR /usr/spool/wtest
xf STR /usr/lbin/xf
Are these the final values for printer 2 ? [y]
Adding comments to printcap file for new printer, type '?' for help.
Do you want to add comments to the printcap file [n] ? :
Set up activity is complete for this printer.
Verify that the printer works properly by using
the lpr(1) command to send files to the printer.
Command < add modify delete exit view quit help >:
Ok now we edit the /etc/services file and add entry
wtest 3001/tcp
then from the command line I typed; rcinet restart
Now when I send a job; lp -d wtest /etc/hosts
The job just sits there and I can find any error information.. has anyone
spotted my problem.. let me re-phrase that.. can anyone help me out..
Steve..
