Problem statement: I want to make a GPX station running Ultrix 3.0 use a PS printer that has been configured off of a decserver. Configuration steps done so far: a) I have created the PRINTCAP entry for the new printer in which I tell lpd the LAT device and LAT port on which the PS printer is connected. b) I created all needed directories under /usr/spool for the new printer queue area, accounting info, etc. c) Now I need to make a node under /dev for the new printer, however, I can not figure out how to create the node and give ultrix enough information about the LAT device and port number when I create the node. I have tried MAKEDEV and mknode, but I always get an errors from them. Besides, I do not understand where to include the LAT device address and port number if I am using these commands. Question: What am I doing wrong ? Thank you in advance. -- ___________________________________________________________________________ | Name: Marco Zelada | Tel: 617 353 9882, Fax: 353 6322 | | Group: VLSI CAD Research Laboratory | E-mail: marco@buengc.bu.edu | | Dept: Electrical & Computer Eng. | US-Mail: 44 Cummington St. | | Org: Boston University | Boston MA, 02215 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
