To install the print server into the AIX print spooler

qdaemon

, please follow these steps:

1. Adjust the printer backend

2. Create a printer device

3. Enter the printer into the spooler system

4. Enable and start the printer

1. Adjusting the Printer Backend

Copy the

/etc/printserver/aix.sh

file from the installation disk into the subdirectory

named

/etc/printserver/interfaces

and rename this copy to the name of the print server

to be installed. Now select the subdirectory

/etc/print server/interfaces

# cd /etc/printserver

# cp aix.sh interfaces/<printername>

# cd interfaces

The printer backend in our example is named

/etc/printserver/interfaces/printer

the following commands would be entered:

# cd /etc/printserver

# cp aix.sh interfaces/printer

# cd interfaces

A few changes in the printer backend

/etc/print server/interfaces/<printername>

are necessary. They are described in the appendix. The settings for the variables

HOST

PORTS

FTP

and possibly

HEADER

and

TRAILER

have to be changed.

Save the edited file and change the file mode as follows:

# chmod 2555 /etc/printserver/interfaces/<printername>

# chown bin /etc/printserver/interfaces/<printername>

# chgrp printq /etc/printserver/interfaces/<printername>

In our example the commands would be:

# chmod 2555 /etc/printserver/interfaces/printer

# chown bin /etc/printserver/interfaces/printer

# chgrp printq /etc/print server/interfaces/printer
