Interoperability Accessing BSD printers
● Make sure the fast filter bsd is already configured:
xpshow -flt
If the filter bsd is not displayed, you must first add it to the system (the filter
is supplied with Xprint V7.0). Enter the following command:
xpadd -flt bsd -tp FAST -cm bsd -op "LOGIN *=*" \
"PRINTER *=*" "DOC-REF *=*" "COMMENT *=*" "TITLE *=*"
● Define the printer as you would a local printer, at the same time assigning to
it the filter bsd:
xpadd -dev bsd_printer -da pseudo_file -fl bsd \
-ca "queue=remote_printer host=host_name" [-pc pcl] -aa
For bsd_printer specify a unique name under which the BSD printer is to be
known in the Xprint V7.0 domain.
For pseudo_file specify any file name of an empty file instead of a real printer
address. This file is required to control access to the print queue; it does not
have anything to do with the actual print job. If necessary, configure the path.
With the -ca option (administrator’s comment) you must specify the name of
the BSD printer in the form queue=remote_printer and the name of the host to
which the BSD printer is connected (host=host_name).
If the name of the remote printer (remote_printer) is the same as that
of the local pseudo printer (bsd_printer), “queue=remote_printer” need
not be specified.
You must separate these specifications with a blank. If the LPD service at
the BSD system is defined at a different port than usual, this port number
can also be defined here by additionally specifying an entry
port=port_number.
If required, specify for pcl a PCL defined in the system which corresponds to
the BSD printer. If the required PCL does not yet exist, you can define it as
described in the section “Adding a PCL” on page 180.
Example
You want to configure a new BSD PostScript printer BSD_PS at host host3. The
fast filter bsd, however, is not yet configured in the system, and the printer is to
be activated automatically each time Xprint V7.0 is started:
xpadd -flt bsd -tp FAST -cm bsd -op "LOGIN *=*" \
"PRINTER *=*" "DOC-REF *=*" "COMMENT *=*" "TITLE *=*"
