ProgramNum-
ber
RPC program number of either a server or ProtoServer. A server
program number can be one that a server creates dynamically,
or it can be the special one for a spooler.
ProgramVer-
sion
RPC version number of the Protoserver
Authentica-
tion
RPC authentication method that is used. The print
system only supports sys.
SubType Describes the object: lp = Logical printer object; pp =
Physical printer object; qu = Queue object; sl = Spooler
server object; sv = Supervisor server object
ServerName Name of the server associated with the object.
ProtoServer Optional. If the parameter value is 1, then the ProtoServer is
used; if the value is 0, the ProtoServer is not used. The value
of this field must be 1 for local file and NIS naming.
Spooling-type The name of the printing paradigm for which an inbound gateway
translation is to occur. The print system only supports dpa.
Printer Configuration Example
elmtree:paddr=papers,105004,1,sys,lp,wooden,1,dpa
The following list describes the fields in this example.
• elmtree is the name of the object, and it contains printer address binding
information.
• The printer address binding information includes the RPC binding
information with an RPC hostname of papers, with a program number of
105004 (the Protoserver RPC number) and a program version number
of 1.
• The elmtree object has authentication method of sys.
• elmtree is a logical printer object that has an associated server object
named woden.
• The Protoserver daemon (on the UNIX host machine ’papers’) determines
the proper RPC Dynamic Program Number that will be used to connect
to the spooler server (wooden).
• dpa is the printing paradigm for LPD Inbound Gateway jobs.
For a configuration that consists of a spooler with two logical printers and a
single queue on hostC, and a supervisor with two physical printers on hostD,
the complete configuration file would be:
spooler1:saddr=hostC,105004,1,sys,sl,spooler1,1,dpa
superv1:saddr=hostD,105004,1,sys,sv,superv1,1,dpa
lp1:paddr=hostC,105004,1,sys,lp,spooler1,1,dpa
lp2:paddr=hostC,105004,1,sys,lp,spooler1,1,dpa
q1:qaddr=hostC,105004,1,sys,qu,spooler1,1,dpa
