UNIX
LPD/LPR Printing
The Line Printer Daemon, a protocol for transferring print jobs
between hosts, is a convenient method for printing on UNIX systems.
You can also install the AXIS 1440 as a remote queue in System V, or
you can add it as a remote printer on BSD systems by editing the
rm
and rp parameters in the /etc/printcap file.
The axinstall installation script
The axinstall script installs LPR print queues on your UNIX system.
You can use the interrupt keys to stop axinstall at any time, and an
installation log will be saved to a file.
Setup Overview To use the axinstall script to set up your UNIX system, you must
complete the following steps:
• Download the axinstall script from EPSON ’s Home Page at
http://www.epson.com/, or
Copy the script from Axis Utilities disk 1 to your hard drive.
• Create an LPR print queue on your UNIX system using axinstall.
• Use your host’s text editor to edit the UNIX print queue
description in the printcap file.
Creating an LPR Print
Queue
Follow these steps to create an LPR print queue on your UNIX
system:
1. Enter sh axinstall on the command line to start axinstall.
2. Press Enter when the program asks if you want to continue. The
program then identifies your host UNIX system and asks you to
verify that the information is correct. If OK, press Enter.
