CONFIGURING NCR SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT SCO PRINTING WITH UNIVISION for MTS/JETSTREAM and for DIRECT DEVICES like I/O8+ & PARALLEL.
This FECO SCO # 2 and FECO SCO 1/1 replace FECO SCO # 1.
Note:- Throughout this FECO a SPACE in a string is shown by a Ñ .
All other spaces are purely cosmetic.
1. The purpose of this release
is to explain how to configure rcp whilst still using the same print commands
in UniVision.
Note: By using rcp it is no longer necessary to configure mtsd processes.
2. Terminal Server Configuration (Para 2 applies only to MTS/Jetstream)
Ports onto which printers are to be attached should be set to "printer" and the flow should be set to "soft". This is configured in 'lines, virtual'.
The rest of the setups remain as previously documented.
3. Interface Scripts
3.1 A modified interface script must be created for each printer to be connected to a
terminal server port:-#cd Ñ /usr/spool/lp/model <CR>
3.2 For UniVision systems
#cp Ñ UVstandard Ñ UVstandard.orig <CR>
3.3 For each printer a unique interface script must be created.
Enter #cp Ñ UVstandard Ñ UVstandardx <CR>
where x is the unique file number for each printer e.g. UVstandard1 UVstandard2
3.4 Each interface file has to have the following change made:
#vi Ñ UVstandardx <CR>
where x is the unique file number
(For Direct Connection, i.e. I/O8+ and Parallel; go straight to para 5)
3.5 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
3.6 For MTS replace the line with:
rcp Ñ ${file} Ñ [mts name]:mts_p[port] Ñ 2>&1 Ñ 1>&3
Where [mtsname] is the name of the mts in the /etc/hosts file and [port] is the physical port number.
3.7 For example Ptr LPO1 is connected onto a terminal server named as mts2 onto port 1
rcp Ñ $ {file} Ñ mts2:mts _p1 Ñ 2>&1 Ñ 1>&3
3.8 For Jetstream 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.
3.9 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
4. Device Files (Para 4 applies only to MTS/Jetstream)
4.1 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.
4.2 As a default there is only 1 /dev/null
4.3 To create additional files :-
#cd Ñ / dev <CR>
#ls Ñ -l Ñ null Ñ | Ñ pg <CR>
4.4 Make a note of the major numbers
#mknod Ñ /dev/znullx Ñ c Ñ [major number] Ñ [minor number] <CR>
where x is the unique file number
4.5 Change permissions on the znull device just created
Enter # chmod Ñ 666 Ñ znullx
use the same major/minor number you recorded above.
4.6 Repeat as required.
5. Final Configuration
5.1 For UniVision systems:
#/usr/lib/lpadmin Ñ -pUVtest Ñ -v/dev/null* Ñ -TUVdumb Ñ
-mUVstandard* Ñ -onobanner
5.2 Ensure that UniVision printers have a name prefixed by UV and the printer type is set to
UVdumb. (HP laser printers do not work properly with UVdumb).
6. Adding Printers in UniVision
6.1 Once the printer has been added in Unix then add the printer in Univision.
6.2 Enter UVsetup and select option 5 Maintain Printer Records
Option A to ADD a Printer
6.3 When prompted for the printer name enter it e.g.. UVLP01
6.4 The printer will be added to the next available port if the system is networked,
if it is not networked it will be added to the designated process for the direct device.
7. Testing
7.1 Unix test enter # lp Ñ -d Ñ [ptr name] Ñ [file] <CR>
7.2 Univision test from $ prompt $ lp Ñ -d Ñ [ptr name] Ñ [file] <CR>
