To determine the IRIX system release, use the command:

The Impressario Adobe PostScript interpreter uses a FLEXlm
node locked license. Many HP and all Epson printer drivers
require the PostScript interpreter (see the previous section
"Configuring the Impressario Software" for details on which
drivers require the Impressario Adobe PostScript
interpreter). _v_s_t_i_f_f, a document previewer, also requires
the Impressario Adobe PostScript interpreter. gscan,
Impressario filters, the developers kit and all printer
drivers that use a printer's built-in PostScript interpreter
do not require the FLEXlm node locked license to work.
Impressario is distributed WITHOUT the FLEXlm node locked
license. A license must be purchased to use the Adobe
PostScript interpreter for these cases. Note that impr_rip
and impr_rip_printers subsystems are not installed by
default (impr_rip contains the PostScript interpreter and
impr_rip_printers contains the HP and Epson drivers that use
the PostScript interpreter). You may wish to install the
impr_rip and impr_rip_printers subsystems when you acquire
the FLEXlm node locked license.
You can use the License Manager to enter the Impressario
license. Type the command ////uuuussssrrrr////eeeettttcccc////LLLLiiiicccceeeennnnsssseeeeMMMMaaaannnnaaaaggggeeeerrrr to start
the license manager (or start the License Manager using the
Toolchest System pull-down menu). Permanent and Evaluation
licenses are available from the SGI web server at
http://www.sgi.com/Products/license.html or send a blank
email message to: license@sgi.com. In North America,
Silicon Graphics' customers may request Permanent licenses
by sending a facsimile (FAX) to: (650) 390-0537 or by
calling our technical support hotline 1-800-800-4SGI. If
you are Outside of North America or you are not a Silicon
Graphics support customer then contact your local support
provider.
If the license has expired a message is printed on the
printer when you try to print. This message is in the file
////uuuussssrrrr////lllliiiibbbb////pppprrrriiiinnnntttt////ddddaaaattttaaaa////ppppssssrrrriiiipppp____eeeexxxxppppiiiirrrreeeedddd____mmmmssssgggg. If the license will
expire any time in the next 90 days a warning message is
printed on the banner page. IMPORTANT: This message is only
printed if you have removed and replaced the printer (which
installs the Impressario 2.* driver). Printer drivers
written for Impressario 1.2 will not print any warning
messages since these drivers could not have anticipated the
need to check for a valid license. You will always see
messages in the /var/spool/lp/log file from psrip(1) if a
license has expired.

The minimum recommended system for use with Impressario 2.*
is an R4K Indigo with 32 MBytes of memory. However, a faster
system and additional memory are highly recommended for
printer servers. Consider adding an additional 4 MBytes of
memory and 5 MBytes of disk space for each additional
printer that will be controlled by the print server (this
applies if you will be running multiple printers at the same
time from the same print server).
A number of Impressario subsystems require that other
software subsystems be installed on the system. The
following table lists the prerequisite subsystems for each
Impressario subsystem. Note that the prerequisite subsystems
may be other Impressario subsystems or subsystems in the
base IRIX release. To use this table effectively, select the
Impressario subsystems you wish to install and read the
prerequisite subsystems. Use the _v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s(_1_M) command to
determine whether the prerequisite subsystems are installed
and use the Software Manager to install any missing
subsystems. Impressario subsystems not listed in the table
