Hi everyone,
I'm trying to setup a LAT printer under 4.0d , and I'm *almost* there, apart
from the last step.
I haven't seen the lat server yet , and I haven't been able to find out
whether it's SVR4 or a BSD type.
So I created a few devices for both, using latsetup, and "mknod /dev/lat/620
c 5 620"
I then configured the device via..
latcp -A -p 620 -H SERVER_NAME -R PORT_NAME
(620 inder /dev/lat/... I haven't tried a tty yet)
Which seemed to work fine.
My question is , is there any particular trick to setting up the printcap
file. I've tried something like:
lat01:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lat01:\
:ct=lat:\
:lp=:/dev/lat/620:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lat01:
It will print but the print jobs go nowhere.
I've read some messages that suggest to take the entries out of
/etc/inittab.
I tried this but it *appears* that these entries relate to the tty's (BSD)
???
Am I missing anything simple?? I guess it's a bit harder due to the fact
I'm not sure if I should be trying BSD or SVR4.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions!!
Thanks in advance,
Dirk.
