Manual Installation Procedure

Chapter 5: Using the Printer with UNIX TCP/IP ❖ 5-33

Edit the /usr/xrx/printcap file to include an entry for the

Xerox printer(s).

If you are using the rprint precompiled binary, the

printcap file must be in the /etc directory.

For example, the following entry defines a printer on the

XNIO port (port 1, TCP port 2501):

xrx_pcl|xrx_1|XNIO printer:\

:lp=xrx_pcl:\ (dummy device name)

:xrx_n=138.239.111.111:\ (IP address)

:xrx_p=2501: (TCP port number)

If this printer will be used for PostScript or graphic image files,

include the following line in the printcap entry:

:xrx_text=disable:\

Edit the printer interface script file. First copy the sample

Xerox printer interface file, lp_dumb, to another file that

corresponds to the printer name you selected.

For example:

cp lp_dumb lp_xrx_pcl

Edit the lp_xrx_pcl file to specify the correct path to the

rprint program. Assuming that the rprint program is kept in

/usr/xrx, enter the second to the last line of the lp_xrx_pcl file

as follows:

(shell commands)

| /usr/xrx/rprint `basename $0` $1 $5

exit $?

If you are familiar with UNIX bourne shell script

programming, you can edit the lp_xrx_pcl file and modify the

banner page that precedes the printed output to suit your

needs.
