Host-Resident Installation
The nicinst command creates the /usr/nic directory and copies some files. It then starts a
script that prompts you for information. Your responses change the contents of the
/etc/printcap file.
1. At the prompt, enter the IP node name of the NIC and press Enter.
2. Enter a name for your printer and press Enter.
The system displays your responses and inquires if you want to accept this
configuration, based on your responses.
3. Either enter Y at the prompt to confirm the configuration or enter N to cancel the
changes.
The system displays a printcap entry based on your responses and inquires if you want
to append the entry to the etc/printcap file.
4. Either enter Y at the prompt to confirm or enter N to cancel the change.
The script creates a spool directory in /usr/spool for your printer.
Repeat the procedure on each system that you want to have access to the printer.
If you want to use a different filter than the one provided by the installation script, edit the
etc/printcap file. For example, to use the ln03rof filter on an Ultrix 4.3 system, change the
lines:
:if=/usr/nic/infilter|/usr/nic/nicfilter
nodename
10001:\
:of=/usr/nic/outfilter:\
to
:if=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/ln03rof|/usr/nic/nicfilter
nodename
10001:\
:of=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/ln03rof:\
where nodename is the IP node name of the NIC.
