Example 2: Configuring the SunOS 4.1.3 Print Spooler for Sun SPARCstations
(serial interface)

In order to perform the following steps you must be a superuser.

1

Create a directory for print spooling. All application users need read and write
permission for this directory. For example, from the command line of a shell, type

mkdir /usr/spool/cad
chmod 777 /usr/spool/cad

2

Edit the

/etc/printcap

file to set up the plotter configuration. You must assign a

name to each printer or plotter managed by the print spooler. Refer to the example
below if you need help completing this step.

3

Add these lines to your

/etc/printcap

file if:

your plotter is named

djet,

and

your plotter is connected to the device named

/dev/ttya

(usually the first serial

port on the workstation), and

the spooling directory you created in step 1 is called

/usr/spool/cad

.

# Entry for an HP plotter on a serial port
djet:\

:lp=/dev/ttya:sd=/usr/spool/cad:br#9600:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lpd–errs:\
:sf:sh:mx#0:xc#0177777:xs#040040:fc#050:\
:ms=–evenp:

4

Make sure the plotter’s baud rate is 9600 and parity is even.
