Appendix Using the SAM Program to Configure the Printer HP supplies the sam program as an alternative method for configuring the printer. The printer name must be the same as the one you entered during the network interface card installation. When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected to /dev/lprprinter/printer_name. The software installed with your HP system can satisfy most of your printing needs.

Appendix Installing and Printing on System V (Solaris Ver. 2)/System V Rel. 4 386-based Machine Installation and setup is exactly the same for System V Solaris and SVR4 i386-based machines. Solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer interface file. After completing the software download in Loading the Software, you must configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. 1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

Appendix These arguments are shell variables from the interface file. They may have different names (names used above are from the standard interface file supplied with most Version 2 and i386 systems). Installing and Printing on SCO UNIX System Installation and setup is similar for HP/UX and SCO UNIX systems. The network interface card solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer interface file.

Appendix NOTE: Your host may require you to specify the model by using the -i command. enable printer_name accept printer_name You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See your system documentation for details. Note that the printer name must be the same as the one you entered during Konica Print Server installation. The software installed with your SCO system can satisfy most of your printing needs.

Appendix 12. Should this be the default queue? Enter y for yes or n for no, then press Enter. 13. Exit smit. 14. Type cd/etc, then press Enter. After the virtual printer has been added, there will be a stanza in /etc/qconfig for device printer_name that looks like the following: printer_name: file=/dev/printer_name backend=/usr/lpd/probe Edit /usr/qconfig and change the following: file=/dev/printer_name to file=/dev/nic/printer_name 15. Type stopsrc -s qdaemon. 16. Type startsrc -s daemon.
