5-8 UNIX server print queues

TO SET UP COLORWRITER PRINTING ON A UNIX SYSTEM RUNNING SOLARIS 2:

1. On each workstation that will print to the Colorwriter, log into the UNIX system as

the root user.

2. At the UNIX prompt, type:

lpsystem -t bsd colorwriter

This tells your system that the Colorwriter is a print server of bsd (Berkeley

Software Distribution) type.

3. Type:

lpadmin -p colorwriterq -s colorwriter!xjprint

This command creates an internal queue on the workstation and points it to the

Colorwriter. The general format of this command is:

lpadmin -p <queuename> -s <hostname>!xjprint

NOTE: The name xjprint after the exclamation point is for conﬁguring the

Colorwriter; it is an internal name that the Colorwriter requests. It must be

xjprint; it is not a user-selectable name. This is the only place where it is entered.

NOTE: When setting up an lpr queue to the Colorwriter, the system name for the

remote printer—xjprint—must be speciﬁed in lowercase letters.

4. Type:

accept colorwriterq

This command tells the Colorwriter to accept print requests from your

workstation. You are now ready to print from the workstation to the Colorwriter.

If your Colorwriter has the 32MB or 48MB memory conﬁguration, you can

create up to three independent network connections. The three internal names are

xjprint, xjdirect, and xjhold. Each connection points to a queue on the

Colorwriter disk.
