Anyone have any experience using a serial printer connected to one of the
serial ports on a terminal server. The hardware is an RT with a Micom
(Racal) Interlan terminal server. I would like to print on a printer
connected to the terminal server.
____Ethernet connection
------------- /
| | | Terminal server (provides 8 ports)
| RT | | +---------+
| |-----| |=--PC
| | | |=--PC
| | | |=--PC
| | | |=----- PRINTER_SOMEWHERE_ELSE
| | | |=
| | | |=
| | | |=
| | | |=
+-----------+ +---------+
SUMMARY: Would like to be able to say "lpr -p07 file" or "lp -drprinter file"
and have the file printed on PRINTER_SOMEWHERE_ELSE. (Logically re-route
all requests for some arbitrary name to a server port) Can this be set up
under TCP-IP, lpadmin, etc on the RT??
Any info would be MUCH appreciated!! C'mon you gurus.
Plese E-Mail unless you would just rather post. Thanks...
