Using the PostScript .PS Files
Before you can print manuals from the CD in your server, you must connect a printerto
the parallel port. Then use the supplied PostScript files (.PS) to print a hard copy of a
manual or other information you may want.
Installing a PostScript Printer with NT
User’s with an NT operating system should use the following guidelines:
1. From the CD-ROM menu bar, select Quit to DOS and press Enter.
2. From the pop-up menu, select Quit Now and press Enter.
3. At the prompt C:\>, type dir c:\manuals and press Enter.
4. At the prompt, type dir c:\(manual name)\pscript and press Enter to see a list
of .PS files.
5. Use the copy or print command to send the .PS files directly to a PostScript printer
using the appropriate driver.
6. At the prompt C:\>, type menu and press Enter to return to the CD-ROM menu.
Installing a PostScript Printer with Linux
If the server uses the Linux operating system, use these guidelines to install and
configure the printer:
1. Attach a printer to the parallel port.
2. As root, run /usr/sbin/printtool
This launches a graphical user interface (GUI) you can use to edit the server’s
/etc/printcap file and create a spool directory for your printer.
Note: Alternately, you can edit the /etc/printcap file on your system directly to
enable the printer you have connected. The text file
/usr/doc/HOWTO/Printing-HOWTO provides information on configuring a printer
using /etc/printcap.
3. Click on the Add button in the RHS Linux Print System Manager GUI.
4. Choose local printer;note thatyou canalso setup remote printers hereas well,such
as a UNIX-type lpd queue or lanmanager printer using SMB.
5. When Linux detects the port that your printer is on, click OK.
