Product Manual U7613-J-Z815-6-76

5.6.1.1 Addclipr

Purpose:

The addclipr command is used to add an Advanced Server client printer device to the

configured spooler.

Syntax:

addclipr clientname printername printertype [clienttype [sharename]]

where:

clientname specifies the network name of the client printer computer to which the

printer is attached.

printername specifies the printer destination name to be added to the configured

Spooler.

printertype specifies the printer as being of this type.

The printertype is used to extract data from the terminfo database.

The parameter must be an entry in the terminfo database.

Not all printers are available for Advanced Server for UNIX on some UNIX systems.

If you cannot use the required printer type, enter standard.

clienttype is either CLIPR or PRSRV. The default is CLIPR with a client on which

clispool or clipcach is running. With PRSRV, select any system that can

make the “shared printer” resource available, for example Windows for

Workgroups, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, or a UNIX Server running

Advanced Server for UNIX.

Please note the section “PRSRV option guidelines” below.

The sharename has to be entered if the clienttype is PRSRV.

Comments:

The addclipr command configures the Advanced Server and the configured spooler to send

print jobs from the Advanced Server computer using the UNIX spoolin command. It does

not share the printer for network use. To enable network access to the client printer, a

shared printer queue must be created using the net share command.
