Chapter 4:Using PShop
PShop User’s Guide - 11
Using PShop on System 5 Style Print Systems (Solaris 2.x, HP-UX, IRIX,
and AIX)
When you have completed the PShop installation, you will have a new print
queue available. You should now be able to print by entering:
lp -d <printer_name> <file> (Solaris 2.x, HP-UX)
lp -d<printer_name> <file> (IRIX, AIX)
You may want to take a few moments to review the man pages for lp. There are
many options available.
Specifiying Printing Options
If you want to pass parameters to vvprint that are not defined by lp (for example,
to set scaling), two methods are available. You can use Vividata’s vvlpr command
or the “-o” option of the system lp command. vvlpr accepts standard lp options
in addition to all vvprint options.
For example, using vvlpr to set “scaling” to 100, “bright” to 75, and printing to
a print queue named “cj10”, you would use the following command-line:
vvlpr -d cj10 -scaling=100 -bright=75 <file> (Solaris 2.x,
HP-UX)
vvlpr -dcj10 -scaling=100 -bright=75 <file> (IRIX, AIX)
An equivalent command using lp would be:
lp -d cj10 -o "-scaling=100 -bright=75" <file> (Solaris
2.x, HP-UX)
lp -dcj10 -o "-scaling=100 -bright=75" <file> (IRIX, AIX)
Also note that you can set specific vvprint options in the printer interface script
using the VVP_OPTIONS environment variable, whose values will override any
options specified with vvlpr.
For more information about PShop command-line options, please refer to
“Appendix A: vvprint/vvlpr Commands & Parameters” on page 21.
Enabling Banner Pages
New to PShop in version 4.0 is banner page printing. This is a feature that can be
either turned on or off.
