Using UNIX System Commands

Clispool

Purpose

The clispool command enables an MS-DOS workstation to receive network

print jobs from a server and to print these jobs on a shared printer physically

connected to the workstation, using the MS-DOS print command. This

command is only available when you have a LAN Manager for UNIX

Systems server on your network.

Syntax

clispool /i /s:driveid [any | \\servername] [/r | /c] [/d | /e]

where

Loads clispool into memory. To load clispool, use this option only after you boot

the workstation.

/s:driveid

Specifies the drive ID that clispool will use to link to its spool directory on the

server. Replace driveid with the drive ID that clispool is to use. To load clispool,

use this option only after you boot the workstation. Do not add a colon after the

drive ID, for example, enter only N for driveid.

any

Allows clispool to accept print requests from any server. Unless you specify

otherwise, any is the default when you load clispool.

servername

Represents the name of the server from which clispool will accept print requests.

Replace servername with the name of the server from which clispool will accept

print requests.

Places the MS-DOS print command into raw mode, which permits the printing

of graphics files. In raw mode, tabs are not expanded and ^Z is not interpreted as

the end of the file. In most cases, raw mode also is acceptable for printing text

files, since tabs in text files are usually expanded by the printer or the application

generating the print job. Unless you specify otherwise, raw mode is the default

whenever you load clispool.
