PShop Installation Directory
This field specifies the location of the PShop installation. By default it will use
the directory where PShop is installed (usually /opt/Vividata for Solaris 2.x and
/usr/vividata for other platforms).
“Select a Printer” - the printer selection list
This scrolling list shows the printers supported by PShop. If your printer is not
one of the models listed, choose the printer that seems most like yours. When you
install a printer, ps_install will create a customized copy of the ID file in the
$VV_HOME/config directory.
The list of printers is built dynamically by ps_install. Each time it starts, it scans
the $VV_HOME/id directory to find the template ID files. If you think that more
up to date files could be useful for you, please check Vividata's web site
(http://www.vividata.com/SupportShop) for the latest information and updates.
ps_install will fill in the printer-specific fields with appropriate values from
the ID file. In most cases, you will not need to make any changes and can simply
click “Install Printer” after you have selected a printer. Should any changes be
necessary, however, simply make the changes in the appropriate text field.
Note: If you pick a printer which has already been installed on the system
with the default print queue name, the information for that printer will be
displayed, and you will be able to edit the printer's interface script and ID file
via the File menu. If you want to install a new printer using the same ID file
template as an existing printer, or if the ID file has the same default print
queue name as an existing printer, simply change its name in the “Print
Queue Name” field.
Printer Port
The Printer Port field contains the name of the port the printer is attached to, or
the name of an output file.
If you have a parallel interface printer, this is the port's device name, i.e.
/dev/bpp0 for the first parallel port on a Solaris SPARC system, /dev/ecpp0 for
the first parallel port on an PCI bus SPARC system (such as the Ultra 5, 10, 30
or 60 models), /dev/lp1 for the first parallel port on a Solaris x86 system, etc.
If you have a Sun SPARC Printer, this will be /dev/lpvi0 for the first printer. The
Sun lpvi driver and the special SBUS interface card are required, and should
