  1. INTRODUCTION
    EDP introduce the Specialix Jetstream 4000, Network Access Server, as an smaller addition to the Jetstream 8500. The single size box houses 8 RJ45 ports, on the front; together with a 25pin D-Type Parallel Printer connector. The rear has the mains input and the 9 pin D-Type administrators port, together with the input AUI and 10 BaseT connectors.

6.21    TO TEST PRINTER in SCO UNIX

                      Example
                            Device              Name          Comment                                                Configuration

                            Host Server      Unix1          Running SCO OpenServer 5.0.2           192.65.146.124

                            JS8500             jstest         Serial port 1 setup for rcp printing         192.65.146.122

                            Printer Name    jstestp 1     SCO printer name

                            Printer Model    jstestp 1     Modified dumb printer model

                            Test Printer                        Wyse 60 terminal

SCO Configuration

Add an entry for the jstest device in /etc/hosts

Test that rcp printing is working correctly using the rcp command from the command line; use syntax:

rcp Ñ /etc/hosts Ñ jstest : p1

In /usr/spool/lp/model find the printer model you need and copy it. For this example the printer model dumb was used and copied to jstestm1. Modify the new printer model to include the rcp command.

The original line was:

0 < $ {file} Ñ eval Ñ $ {FILTER} Ñ 2 Ñ >&1

The new line is:

rcp Ñ $ file Ñ jstest : p1 Ñ 2 >&1

Create a new printer using scoadmin with a printer model of jstestm 1 and a
device of /dev/null.

Once the printer had been started (Enable and accept) the lp command can be used to print to the JETSTREAM 4000.

7    In the following paragraphs if the number of the paragraph has a U in it it is for UniVision only; and if it has
      a C in it, it is for Charisma only.

8 U UNIVISION INTERFACE SCRIPTS

8.1    A modified interface script must be created for each printer to be connected to a terminal   U         server port:-

#cd Ñ /usr/spool/lp/model <CR>

8.2    For UniVision systems

U                 #cp Ñ UVstandard Ñ UVstandard.orig <CR>

8.3    For each printer a unique interface script must be created.

U       Enter #cp Ñ UVstandard Ñ UVstandardx <CR>

where x is the unique file number for each printer e.g. UVstandard1 UVstandard2

8.4     Each interface file has to have the following change made:

U                    #vi Ñ UVstandardx <CR>

where x is the unique file number

Now go to para 10

9 C     CHARISMA INTERFACE SCRIPTS

9.1    A modified interface script must be created for each printer to be connected to a terminal   C      server port:-

#cd Ñ /usr/spool/lp/model <CR>

9.2    For Charisma systems

C                #cp Ñ crnlmap Ñ crnlmap.orig <CR>

9.3    For each printer a unique interface script must be created. These will be called:-

C      For Charisma systems
                        crnlmap1
                        crnlmap2

9.4   Each interface file has to have the following change made:

C                #vi Ñ crnlmapx

where x is the unique file number

9.5    Find the line :-

C                  echo "\f\c"

and insert a hash sign "#" at the front of the line. There will be two of these. Now go to the next paragraph.

10     Find the line which is approximately 10 lines from the bottom of the file and just above the last line you           edited.
         This line contains the commands 0<$ {file} eval ${FILTER} 2> &4

11    Replace the line with:

rcp Ñ ${file} Ñ [Jetstream name]:p[port] Ñ 2>&1 Ñ 1>&3

Where [Jetstream name] is the name of the jetstream in the /etc/hosts file and [port] is the physical port number.

12    For example Ptr LPO1 is connected onto a terminal server named as Jet2 onto port 1

rcp Ñ $ {file} Ñ Jet2 : p1 Ñ 2>&1 Ñ 1>&3

13    Note for Parallel Ports omit the p for the printer so the above example for Ptr LPO1 when connected to           Jet2 on the Parallel Port 1 is :-

rcp Ñ $ {file} Ñ Jet2 : 1 Ñ 2>&1 Ñ 1>&3

14    DEVICE FILES

14.1 Each printer to be connected to a terminal server must have its own file in the /dev directory.          This has to be /dev/znullx where x = a number.

14.2 As a default there is only 1 /dev/null

14.3 To create additional files in UniVision:-

U                 #cd Ñ / dev <CR>

#ls Ñ -l Ñ null Ñ | Ñ pg <CR>

14.3 To create additional files in Charisma:-

C                 #cd Ñ / dev <CR>

#ls Ñ -l Ñ *null* Ñ | Ñ pg <CR>

14.4 Make a note of the Univision major numbers

U                #mknod Ñ /dev/znullx Ñ c Ñ [major number] Ñ [minor number] <CR>

where x is the unique file number

14.4 Make a note of the Charisma major numbers

C              #mknod Ñ /dev/nullx Ñ c Ñ [major number] Ñ [minor number] <CR>

where x is the unique file number.
Major / Minor numbers usually 2 2

14.5 Change permissions on the UniVision znull device just created

U      Enter # chmod Ñ 666 Ñ znullx

use the same major/minor number you recorded above.

14.5 Change permissions on the Charisma null device just created

C      Enter # chmod Ñ 666 Ñ nullx

use the same major/minor number you recorded above.

14.6 Repeat as required.

15 U    UNIVISION FINAL CONFIGURATION

15.1 For UniVision systems:

U                 #/usr/lib/lpadmin Ñ -pUVtest Ñ -v/dev/null* Ñ -TUVdumb Ñ

-mUVstandard* Ñ -onobanner

15.2 Ensure that UniVision printers have a name prefixed by UV and the printer type is set to
U      UVdumb. (HP laser printers do not work properly with UVdumb).

16.1 ADDING PRINTERS IN Univision
U

16.2 Once the printer has been added in Unix then add the printer in Univision
U

16.3 Enter UVsetup and select option 5 Maintain Printer Records

U                Option A to ADD a Printer

16.4 When prompted for the printer name enter it e.g.. UVLP01
U

16.5 The printer will be added to the next available port if the system is networked,
U      if it is not networked it will be added to the designated process for the direct device.

17 U TESTING IN UNIVISION

7.1 Unix test enter # lp Ñ -d Ñ [ptr name] Ñ [file] <CR>
U

17.2 Univision test from $ prompt $ lp Ñ -d Ñ [ptr name] Ñ [file] <CR>
U

18 C CHARISMA FINAL CONFIGURATION

18.1 Using scoadmin/sysadmin configure each printer in the usual way.
C      Once all printers have been set up, then to configure the correct interface script, issue the           following command for each printer

18.2 For Charisma systems:

C                   #/usr/lib/lpadmin Ñ -p[ptr name] Ñ -v[device name] Ñ -Tdumb Ñ

-mcrnlmap* Ñ -onobanner <CR>

where [ptr name] is the printer label assigned via sysadm and standardx is the interface script name.
where * of -mcrnlmap* is the unique file number.

19C   CHARISMA TESTING

19.1 From Unix use lp Ñ -d Ñ [ptr name] Ñ [file] <CR> to test each printer.
C

19.2 From Charisma, login as bml

C                 then from the tty prompt use lp Ñ -d Ñ [ptr name] Ñ [file] <CR>
