TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal 43
- rcmd: the AX3000's printer is accessed by the rcmd command. This
command must be added to a printer interface program or associated
with a pseudo-terminal to create a system printer.
5.2.1 - Using lpd
a - Overview
Use the UNIX System Management Tool to add a remote printer. At least, two
parameters are required:
- the name of the remote host: enter the AX3000's name (refer to
/etc/hosts),
- the name of the printer: this name is the PRN name entered when the
AX3000 was set up.
Run the lp command to use this printer.
Note: some options of the lp command (number of copies, banner, etc) cannot
be used, because the Platine terminal is not a UNIX host system and has no
hard disk on which to run a spooler.
b - Using lpd under IBM AIX V3.x
Enter the SMIT fast path smit mkrque. Four parameters are required:
- Name of Queue to Add:
name of the printer accessed by the lp command
- DESTINATION HOST for Remote Jobs:
name of the Platine terminal (refer to /etc/hosts)
- Name of QUEUE on Remote Printer:
PRN name associated with the AX3000's port
- Name of Device to Add:
device name of printer on AIX
The AX3000's printer can now be used by the lp command.
c - Using lpd under IBM AIX V4.x
Enter the SMIT fast path smit spooler then select 'Add a Print Queue'
and 'Remote'.
