- Yep. A minimal config file might look like this
-
- print_daemon vcr
- device v3236
- rasterizer rpm DISK 12
- interface offline # (default)
- offline_format banded
- output_directory /idea/tmp
- paper roll
- post_job_command /usr/spool/mgc/scripts/synergy.post.sh
- post_job_string "Post-job test string"
-
- (your rasterizer may vary).
-
- Also, you can make this black-and-white by just setting 'color_suport'
- variable to 'disabled' (look at VCR printing manual for UNIX, don't have
- the exact syntax handy).
-
- This feeds into a synergy plotter for us - the synergy software (sycom_d) has
- not yet been recompiled for the HP700 (actually, we appear to be missing this
- source for some unkonwn reason) - anyway, we copy it over to a DN series
- machine and use the DN machine's sycom_d - for now. (ugly, but it works).
-
- This is the 'synergy.post.sh' command script, loosely based off of mentor's
- script from their 'Configuring and Using V8.1 print software in a
- Heterogeneous environment' (recommended, we got ours from our AE, not sure
- if it is available on-line or not).
-
- BTW - watch out for bugs in the command to enable remote printing for sys5.3
- in the VCR printing manual for UNIX (available from Bold Browser). Two
- crucial steps are omitted (accept and enable), and there is a typo in the
- lpadmin command too! (thing it was -ocrsmodel -> osrsmodel, not positive).
