ADD A NEW PRINT SERVICE
In Enlighten, you can define a printer as a print server or a print
client. Altogether, there are three options for configuring a
printer when you click on the Add button: as a Print Client, a Local
Print Server, or a Network Print Server.
Each of these windows contain buttons and fields which are common to
both print client and print server configurations.
Apply
Save the configuration specified.
Clear Fields
Click on this button to clear the existing choices in all fields.
Cancel
Click on this button to close the window without making any changes.
These fields are the same as the ones for the Local Print Server,
except you need to specify an I.P. Address for the network printer
rather than a Device name for a local printer. See "Local Print
Server" on page 7-5 for a description of the rest of the fields in
this Print Services window.
Print Service Type
A set of toggle buttons to specify if a printer client or printer
server is being configured. The setting here will determine the look
of the rest of the window.
The following subsections details the window and field formats for
each option.
Device
This is the device, such as /dev/lp (parallel) or /dev/ttyh7
(serial), where the printer will be attached. This device must
already exist.
Server Hostname
This field specifies which host in the current pool will be used as
the print server for this printer. The arrow button to the right
will pop up a list of all hosts in the current pool.
Printer Model
This field lists the type of printer driver to be used. A hostname
must be entered in the Server Hostname field before selecting a
driver. The arrow button to the right will pop-up a window listing
of all the available printer models.
This field is mandatory. See "Custom Driver" on page 7-11 for more
information on creating your own printer drivers.
Note: When you add a printer to the system, it is automatically
enabled.
Class
For systems using the System V type spooling system, a printer can
be added to a printer "Class". A printer class is a printer
designation where the first available printer in the class will the
print the job. This is a useful mechanism to better distribute print
jobs on multiple printers of the same type.
This field is an optional field. If no printer class is entered,
then the printer (queue) will not be put into a printer class. If a
printer class is entered and it does not exist, the class will
automatically be created.
This field is not used by systems using the Berkeley style printer
spooler (lpd) or by IBM AIX systems.
Hosts Allowed Access
This text field can be used to specify which hosts are allowed
access to the print server. The arrow button to the right will pop
up a list of all hosts in the current pool.
Network Print Server
To configuring printers as network print servers, select the Server
and Network options from the Add Print Services window, as shown
below.
Hostname
Use this field if you want to configure the new printer on a subset
of the currently managed hosts. Leave a blank space between each
host name if you are specifying multiple entries. You can also click
on the arrow button to the right to bring up a pick list of all
currently managed hosts and make your selections from there.
Local Queue Name
This field specifies the full pathname for the local printer queue.
Remote Host
This field lists the host being used as the print server for this
particular client. The arrow button to the right will pop up a list
of all hosts in the current pool.
Remote Printer
This text field specifies the remote printer used to service the
print jobs. The arrow button to the right will pop up a list of all
known printers defined on hosts in the current pool.
