c) Using lpd under SCO UNIX
Run scoadmin and select [Printer]-[Printer Manager]. Then select [Printer]-
[Add Remote...]-[UNIX]. A dialog box is displayed. Two parameters are
required:
- Host: hostname of the AX3000 (refer to /etc/hosts)
- Printer: this is the 'Printer Port Name' associated with the AX3000's port
Note: an AX3000 filter may be needed.
5.3.3 - The rsh Command
The rsh command (or rcmd on SCO OpenServer) can be used to print a file.
The rsh parameters are:
- The hostname or the IP address of the device,
- A keyword which is the AX3000 auxiliary port name. This name has been
set through the AX3000 Set-Up (see Chapter 3.5.6).
To print a file, the rsh command reads data from 'standard input' (
stdin
) and
sends this data to one of the AX3000’s auxiliary ports. For example:
$ rsh axname parallel < file
In this example, axname is the name of the AX3000 (refer to /etc/hosts file)
and parallel is the Printer Port Name of the AX3000 auxiliary port.
5.3.4 - Using Transparent Mode
One of the auxiliary or logical ports should be selected as the default printer
port which will be controlled by escape sequences.
Select the [Configuration]-[General]-[Miscellaneous] dialog and set the
'default printer port'.
This default port can only be used if no network service (lpd, tty, etc) is currently
using it.
