    NetportExpress(TM) XL: Print Server Set Up with Unix System V Release 4

    
    

    NETPORTEXPRESS(TM) XL PRINT SERVER WITH UNIX* SYSTEM V, REL4

    
       Note:     Intel does not officially support UNIX* System V, rel4.
    
       However, customers have reported that they are able to print from this
    
       system to the NetportExpress(TM) XL print server. This was tested with
    
       NCR SVR4.
    
    
    
       Unix System V, rel4, implements a version of the BSD style lpd (line
    
       printer daemon).  This implementation, however, does not make use of the
    
       PRINTCAP file normally associated with lpd.
    
    
    
       To print using the NetportExpress XL print server, carry out the
    
       following steps:
    
    
    
         1. From a PC on Novell configure the XL print server as if it was
    
            being used in a BSD environment. (For more information see "TCP/IP
    
            Printing Using the Intel NetportExpress XL Print Server," second
    
            edition, chapter 5, pp. 22*25.) DO NOT configure for use with the
    
            IPRINT utility.
    
    
    
            For example, you might set up the XL address as 127.150.10.10, and
    
            then set up the port addresses as: 
    
    
    
               Parallel Port 1  = 127.150.10.10 (same as Netport IP address)
    
              P= 127.150.10.11
    
              S  = 127.150.10.12
    
    
    
         2. From the UNIX* system add entries to the etc/hosts file (or to the
    
            appropriate address resolution files if you are using DNS).
    
    
    
           For example: 
    
    
    
               127.150.10.10    accting-laser1
    
              1accting-laser2 
    
              1accting-plot 
    
    
    
         3. Identify each port as a remote BSD type system using the lpsystem
    
            command.
    
    
    
             Note: The following commands should not be executed from the UNIX
    
            c-shell.
    
    
    
           For example:
    
    
    
               lpsystem -t bsd -T n -R n accting-laser1
    
              lpsystem -t bsd -T n -R n accting-laser2
    
              lpsystem -t bsd -T n -R n accting-plot
    
    
    
            Note:  The -T and -R options set timeout and retry values.  The
    
            lowercase 'n' shown in the example is actually an allowable value,
    
            and the value we use.  It may also be replaced with a numeric value
    
            to set some actual times.  -R 0 enables a continuous retry if the
    
            connection fails.  If you experience printing problems such as
    
            partial print or continuously printing of pages, try setting the -R
    
            parameter to 0.  For more details, see the manual pages on
    
    
    
            lpsystem.
    
    
    
         4. Create the local printer connections with lpadmin.  The remote
    
            printer name is appended to the remote system name, as either TEXT
    
            or PASSTHRU, controlling whether the XL does some text processing
    
            or passes the text unchanged.
    
    
    
           For example:
    
    
    
               lpadmin -p acct-las1-txt -s accting-laser1!TEXT
    
              lpadmin -p acct-las2-txt -s accting-laser2!TEXT
    
              lpadmin -p acct-plot -s accting-plot!PASSTHRU 
    
    
    
         5. Select a default printer (if desired)
    
    
    
            For example:
    
    
    
               lpadmin -d acct-las1-txt
    
    
    
         6. Activate each queue.
    
    
    
           For example:
    
    
    
               accept acct-las1-txt 
    
              accept acct-las2-txt 
    
              accept acct-plot
    
              enable acct-las1-txt
    
              enable acct-las2-txt 
    
              enable acct-plot 
    
    
    
         7. Print a test file. 
    
    
    
            For example, print a copy of the hosts table:
    
    
    
               lp -d acct-las1-txt  /etc/hosts
