Configuring the EPL-N2000 for UNIX 5-11
Script 2
The following script should have the same name as the host
name for the EPL-N2000:
TEMPFILE=/tmp/ftpprint.$$
printer=’epsonprt’
/usr/spool/lp/model/standard “$@” >$TEMPFILE
ftp -n $printer <<EOF
send $TEMPFILE
quit
EOF
rm $TEMPFILE
exit
Script 2 intercepts the print command and runs another printer
interface script, in this case the printer “standard,” then redirects
the output to a temporary file. The script then opens an ftp
session with the printer, sets binary mode, and sends the
temporary file to the printer. Finally, the temporary file is
removed.
Note:
The name of the model and interface directories used by your UNIX
system may differ from those used by SCO.
