piomkapqd Command
Purpose
Builds a SMIT dialog to create print queues and printers.
Syntax
piomkapqd -A AttachmentType -p Printer -d DeviceName -h Header [ -e ]
piomkapqd -A AttachmentType -p Printer -v Device -s Subclass -r Adapter -h Header [ -e ]
piomkapqd -A AttachmentType -p Printer { -T TTYName | -f FileName } -h Header [ -e ]
piomkapqd -A AttachmentType -p Printer -x XstationName -X XstationType -P Port -h Header [ -e ]
piomkapqd -A AttachmentType -p Printer [ -d DeviceName ] -c CmdExec -i DiscCmd -o ObjectID -h Header [ -e ]
Description
The piomkapqd command creates a System Mangement Infterface Tool (SMIT) dialog that allows the user to create new printers and print queues. The piomkapqd command also allows users to add their user-defined attachment types to a SMIT printer or queue definition dialog.
Flags
-A AttachmentType |
Specifies the type of attachment used to connect the printer to the data source. Common values for the AttachmentType variable are:
- local
- Specifies a local attachment type.
- xsta
- Specifies an Xstation attachment type.
- ascii
- Specifies an ASCII attachment type.
- file
- Specifies a file where the data is stored.
|
-c CmdExec |
Specifies the value for the cmd_to_execute SMIT command. This flag is used when creating a user-defined attachment dialog. If this flag is not included, the piomkpq command is used as the default. |
-d DeviceName |
Specifies the name of the device, pseudo-device, or file where the output is directed, for example lp0
or tty1
. |
-e |
Specifies that an existing print queue is to be used for printer output. The -e prevents the piomkapqd command from creating a new queue. |
-f FileName |
Indicates the name of the file where output is stored. |
-h Header |
Specifies the title or header of the SMIT dialog that is being created. |
-i DiscCmd |
Specifies the value of the cmd_to_discover SMIT command.This flag is used when creating a user-defined attachment dialog. If this flag is not included, the piomkapqd command default value is used to create the dialog. |
-o ObjectID |
Specifies the SMIT object whose ID matches the value of the ObjectID variable. |
-p Printer |
Specifies the printer type as defined in the /usr/lib/lpd/pio/predef directory, for example ibm4019
. |
-P Port |
Specifies the Xstation port number where the printer is attached. |
-r ParentAdapter |
Specifies the parent adapter for the printer. |
-s Subclass |
Specifies the subclass type to which the printer belongs. The possible values for the Subclass variable are:
|
-T TTYName |
Specifies the name of the TTY attached to the new printer or queue. |
-v Device |
Specifies the device type as defined in the ODM database. The -v flag retrieves printer definitions that are not stored in the /usr/lib/lpd/pio/predef directory. |
-x XstationName |
Specifies the name of the Xstation. |
-X XstationType |
Specifies the type of the Xstation. |
Examples
- To create a SMIT dialog that adds a print queue to an existing local printer, enter:
piomkapqd -A local -p ibm4019 -d lp0 -h 'Add a New Queue'
- To create a SMIT dialog that adds a new printer named lp2
and new print queue attached locally, enter:
piomkapqd -A local -p ibm4019 -v ibm4019 -s rs232 -r sa0 -h 'Add New Printer'
- To create a SMIT dialog that adds a new printer attached to an Xstation named Aegean
and creates a new print queue, enter:
piomkapqd -A xsta -p ibm4029 -x Aegean -X 120 -P s1 -h 'Add Xstation Printer'
- To create a SMIT dialog that adds a printer attached to a TTY and create a new queue for the printer, enter:
piomkapqd -A tty -p ibm4039 -T tty12 -h 'Add TTY Printer'
- To create a SMIT dialog that directs output to a file name stuff
and to create a new queue, enter:
piomkapqd -A file -p ibm4039 -f stuff -h 'Add Output File' -e
- To create a SMIT dialog that adds a user-defined printer attachment type and creates a new queue, enter:
piomkapqd -A hpJetDirect -p hplj-4 [-d lp0] -c /usr/sbin/mkjetd -i /usr/bin/lsjd -o JetDirect -h 'Add New Attachment Type'
File
/usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piomkapqd |
Contains the piomkapqd command. |
