       Note:     These instructions were tested and reported by a customer and
    
       have not been tested by Intel.
    
    
    
       Data General MV (DGMV) does not use an /etc/printcap file so all
    
       necessary parameters are passed as variables to the LPR command.  The
    
       system does run the LPD spooling daemon.
    
    
    
         1. Set up TCP support on the XL as usual.  Set up an IP address for
    
            each of the individual ports that will be used.
    
    
    
         2. In the :ETC:HOSTS file on the DG system, set up an entry for eaxch
    
            port to be used.  In the example below, the printer name is defined
    
            as 'acct_lj4":
    
    
    
            123.456.789.123     acct_lj4  ACCT_LJ4
    
    
    
         3. The format of the LPR command is:
    
    
    
            LPR -S<hostname> -P<queue> filename
    
    
    
            where
    
    
    
       hostname    name in the :ETC:HOSTS file corresponding to the IP 
    
                   address assigned to the port on the XL.
    
    
    
       queue       use PASSTHRU for postscript printing, use TEXT 
    
                   for PCL and ASCII.  The name must be in capital
    
                   letters.
