service on a host.

The mkprtsv high-level
command configures a TCP/IP-based print service on a host. The print
service configuration can be done for a host functioning as a client or for a
host functioning as a server.
Use the command to configure and
start the print service.
To configure print service for a
client, the mkprtsv command calls the spooler mkque and mkquedev commands to change the /etc/lpd/qconfig file (or its object class
equivalent) appropriately and set up a spooler queue on the client
machine.
To configure print service for a
server, the mkprtsv command does the following:
- Calls the ruser command to set up remote users to print on
the server.
- Calls the mkque
and mkquedev commands to change the server's
/etc/lpd/qconfig file appropriately and set up the necessary device
queues on the server machine.
- Calls the startsrc
command to activate the lpd and qdaemon server
daemons. The qdaemon server daemon starts the piobe printer backend.
| -A FileName
| Specifies name of file containing entries related to the
qconfig file.
|
| -a
"Attribute
=Value..."
|
|
| Specifies a list of attributes and their corresponding values to be used
for updating the spooler's qconfig file or object
class. The -a flag is optional. Valid attribute types
are listed below:
- acctfile (true/false)
- Identifies the file used to save print command accounting
information. The default value of false suppresses
accounting. If the named file does not exist, no accounting is
done.
- argname
- Specifies the logical printer name.
- device
- Identifies the symbolic name that refers to the device stanza.
- discipline
- Defines the queue-serving algorithm. The default value of
fcfs means first come, first served. A sjn value
means shortest job next.
- pserver
- Specifies the remote print server.
- up (true/false)
- Defines the state of the queue. The default value of
true indicates that it is running. A false value
indicates that it is not.
|
| -b
"Attribute
=Value..."
|
|
| Specifies a list of attributes and their corresponding values to be used
for updating the spooler's qconfig file or object
class. At least one attribute must be defined for the -b
option. The backend attribute is required. Valid
attribute types are listed below:
- access (true/false)
- Specifies the type of access the backend has to the file specified by the
file attribute. The access attribute has a value
of write if the backend has write access to the file, or a value of
both if the backend has both read and write access. This
field is ignored if the file field has a value of false.
- align (true/false)
- Specifies whether the backend sends a form-feed control before starting
the job if the printer has been idle. The default value is
false.
- backend
- Specifies the full path name of the backend, optionally followed by flags
and parameters to be passed to it. The backend attribute is
required.
- feed
- Specifies the number of separator pages to print when the device becomes
idle, or takes a never value, which indicates that the backend is
not to print separator pages.
- file
- Identifies the special file where the output of the backend is to be
redirected. The default value of false indicates no
redirection. In this case, the backend opens the output file.
- header (never/always/group)
- Specifies whether a header page prints before each job or group of
jobs. The default value of never indicates no header
page. To produce a header page before each job, specify an
always value. To produce a header before each group of jobs
for the same user, specify a group value.
- trailer
(never/always/group)
- Specifies whether a trailer page prints after each job or group of
jobs. The default value of never indicates no trailer
page. To produce a trailer page after each job, specify an
always value. To produce a trailer after each group of jobs
for the same user, specify a group value.
- host
- Specifies the host name from which to print.
- s_statfilter
- Translates short queue-status information to a format recognized by this
operating system.
- l_statfilter
- Translates long queue-status information to a format recognized by this
operating system.
|
| -c
| Performs print service configuration for a client machine. The
-q flag should be used with the -c option.
|
| -H FileName
| Specifies the name of a file containing a list of host names.
|
| -h
"HostName..."
| Specifies a list of host names to be included in the list of remote users
who can use the print server. Note that the queuing system does not
support multibyte host names.
|
| -q QueueName
| Specifies the name of a queue in the qconfig file.
|
| -S
| Starts print service after it is configured. If the -S
flag is omitted, print service is configured but not started.
|
| -s
| Performs print service configuration for a server machine. The -h, -H, and
-q flags should be used with the
-s flag.
|
| -v DeviceName
| Specifies the name of the device stanza in the qconfig
file.
|
- To configure and enable print
service for a client, enter the command in the following format:
mkprtsv -c -S -a"argname=rp1 backend=piobe \
pserver=print802"
In this example, rp1 is the logical printer name,
piobe is the printer backend, and print802 is the remote
print server.
- To configure a print server
using initialization information and allow remote printing, enter the command
in the following format:
mkprtsv -s -H hnames -A qinfo
In this example, attribute information stored in the qinfo
file initializes the spooler, and the list of host names stored in the
hnames file is the list of remote hosts that have access rights to
the print server.
| /etc/lpd/qconfig
| Contains configuration information for the printer queuing system.
|
The mkque command, mkquedev command, qadm command, ruser command, startsrc command.
The lpd daemon, qdaemon daemon.
