Step 6. Create a device special file for the plotter by invoking /usr/sbin/insf
with the -H (hardware path) option; for example:
/usr/sbin/insf -H 56/48.5
This installs the device special file for the hardware path and instr0.
You can verify this by executing ioscan -H 56/48.5 -fn to see the file
name and then lssf filename to see the device file's attributes.
Your next step will be to configure the LP spooler to enable you to send
print jobs to the plotter; for procedure, see "Managing Printers and
Printer Output" of the Managing Systems and Workgroups manual.
