Printer Models File
The printer models file /usr/lib/scoadmin/printer/model.stz contains a list of supported
printers and their attributes. Web–based System Manager uses this file to configure a new
printer. The format is as follows:
key1:
attr1 = val1
attr2 = val2
key2:
...
The file includes a text description of each supported make and model, pointers to a printer
interface script, and a terminfo entry. It can also contain additional information such as
required serial line settings or supported content types.
The following attributes are available:
contents A quoted, comma–separated list of the content types supported for a
printer, usually just PS (for postscript), pcl (for Hewlett–Packard’s
Printer Control Language), or simple (for most other printers).
Additional content types can be supported by creating Print Filters.
See Providing Filters on page 6-19. This attribute is optional.
interface The Printer Interface Script should be set to standard in most cases.
See Printer Interface Scripts on page 6-10. This attribute is mandatory.
name A text description of a printer make/model. This attribute is mandatory.
terminfo Is the name of the terminfo entry associated with this printer. See
Using the terminfo Database on page 6-13. This attribute is optional.
stty Any serial or parallel line settings appropriate for the printer. This
attribute is optional.
In addition, each printer must have a unique key name associated with it, as shown in these
examples:
canon–jet–10ex:
name=”Canon Bubble Jet 10ex”
terminfo=bj–10ex
interface=standard
hp–laserjet:
name=”HP LaserJet (PCL)”
terminfo=hplaserjet
interface=standard
