Capture Sample Data in UNIX (Solaris)
Create a Virtual Printer
To create a virtual printer:
1. In the File Manager, choose File and then Open Terminal.
2. Use the following commands to open the Hosts file:
cd /etc
vi ./hosts
3. In the Hosts file, add the IP address of the printer, or the IP address of the workstation on which
PlanetPress Watch is installed, and assign a name to that IP address. For example:
192.xxx.yyy.zzz printdestination
4. Save the Hosts file as follows:
Press ESCAPE.
Enter :wq
Assign a Print Queue to a Virtual Printer
To assign a print queue to a virtual printer:
1. Use the command:
lpadmin -p queuename -I any -s printdestination
Where:
-p queuename specifies the name of this queue
-I any specifies no data formatting (i.e.: Text Only)
-s printdestination specifies the name of the virtual printer
