System V Printer Configuration
character set 2, but better names are needed for the standard set (set 0) and set 1.
Enter the following command to define synonyms:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin –p printer_name –S ”cs0=american, english=british”
• The following three commands will then produce identical results. (The lp command
routes print jobs to the printer, and in these examples, routes the print job to any printer
capable of handling the cs1 character set.)
lp –S cs1 –d any . . .
lp –S english –d any . . .
lp –S british –d any . . .
If you do not list the character sets that can be used with a printer, the service assumes a
printer that has selectable character sets can take any cs N name or terminfo name
known for the printer.
• To remove the character set mappings, enter:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin –p printer_name –S none
Specifying Font Cartridges to Use With a Printer
Until you specify the font cartridges that can be used with a new printer, the print service
does not consider any font cartridges installable on that printer and rejects any print
requests that require a font cartridge.
To specify a list of font cartridges to use with a printer, ype:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin –p printer_name –S font_cartridge_list
font_cartridge_list is a list of font cartridge names, separated by commas or spaces. If you
use spaces to separate the names, enclose the entire list (but not the –S) in quotes. These
are the only font cartridges considered installable on the printer.
To remove the font cartridge list from the printer, enter:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin –p printer_name –S none
After you specify the list of font cartridges installable on the printer, you can install them.
See Changing a Font Cartridge on a Printer on page 6-39.
Changing a Font Cartridge on a Printer
Before the print service prints a file that requires a font cartridge, you must install and mount
the font cartridge on the printer.
If you have set up alerting for the font cartridge, the print service alerts you when enough
print jobs are queued for the font cartridge to be installed and mounted. See Alerting to
Mount Forms and Font Cartridges on page 6-41.
Changing a font cartridge involves first removing the current font cartridge from the printer.
Then, install the new font cartridge on the printer and inform the print service that the new
font cartridge is ready to use by mounting it. Because it is difficult to do this on a printer that
is currently printing and because the print service continues to print files that do not require
the font cartridge on the printer, disable the printer first.
To install or change a font cartridge, do the following:
1. Disable the printer.
2. Remove the current font cartridge from the printer (if applicable).
3. Install the new font cartridge on the printer.
4. Mount the new font cartridge by entering:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin –p printer_name –M –S font_cartridge_name
