- I am running CAP pl126 with EtherTalk Phase 2 and native
- EtherTalk on a Sun SPARC with SunOS 4.1.1 Rev. B, so I am
- not sure whether the following will apply to you.
-
- According to the Sun "System and Network Administration"
- manual, chapter 12 "Maintaining Printers and Print Servers",
- the permissions for a printer device must be set as follows
- (assuming printer device /dev/ttya) --
-
- # ls -lg /dev/ttya
- crw-rw---- 1 daemon daemon 12, 0 Oct 21 11:57 /dev/ttya
-
- Since CAP is really writing to /dev/nit, I found it necessary
- to change the permissions of /dev/nit similarly to get
- printing to work, that is --
-
- # ls -lg /dev/nit
- crw-rw---- 1 root daemon 37, 40 Feb 12 1992 /dev/nit
-
- Hope this helps.
