Setting Up Printers Attached to Workstations or Servers
Using Nprinter Daemon
CAUTION: Changes made to these files while NPRINTER is running should always be made to
PRTConfig first, and then to RPControl.
PRTConfig File Parameters
The PRTConfig file allows users to set up the host printer configuration that
gives NPRINTER access to the host printers. This file is configurable with a
text editor.
Be aware that the # symbol marks a heading (or comment line) and the
characters hq mark the beginning of an entry.
The PRTConfig file has the following format:
This file is platform dependent, requiring you to modify this file to fit your
platform. The first three parameters must have values. The fourth parameter
(“form_name”) can be left blank.
printer_name
Uniquely describes the printer or queue. The name can be up to 20
characters long. This name is not the host’s name for the printer; it is the
name NPRINTER uses to map an entry in RPControl to an entry in
PRTConfig.
host_queue_name
The name assigned to the host printer queue that you want NPRINTER to
spool print jobs to. The NPRINTER daemon uses this name to find and open
the host printer queue.
priority
Allows you to assign a priority level to the printer. In the reference port
version, you can assign a value from 0 to39, with the highest priority being
0.
