ColorSpan Legacy System Control - User Guide

Unix and VAX Based Computers B-5
7. For remote installations, add a section to the /etc/
printcap file that describes the ColorSpan print server
as a remote printer.
For example, if the preceding script is installed for a printer
connected to Host A, a remote user can print to the server by
installing the following script for Host B:
# LaserMaster server Remote
RemoteDM:\
:lp=:\
:rm=Host-A:\
:rp=DM1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/RemoteDM:\
:lf=/usr/spool/RemoteDM/lp-log:\
:sf:
8. Edit the /etc/ttys and /etc/rc files.
If the ColorSpan print server is the first printer added to the
system, make sure that the lines in /etc/rc (or
/etc/rc.local for some systems) to start the lpd (line
print daemon) are active (not commented out with a #).
9. Create the spool directory and logfile.
Create an empty spool directory and log file using the same
pathnames you specified when you edited the /etc/
printcap file. For example, to create the spool directory
for the DisplayMaker named in the previous examples, type:
mkdir /usr/spool/DM
1 [Return] (creates spool direc-
tory)
chown daemon /usr/spool/DM
1 [Return] (changes
owner)
chgrp daemon /usr/spool/DM1
[Return] (changes
group)
chmod 755 /usr/spool/DM1
[Return] (changes rights)
To create an empty log file, type:
touch /dev/null /usr/log/DM1/lp-log
[Return]
