Hello !
We have problems with our Laserwriter HP-Laserjet III. Does anybody
have experience with filters for these Laserjet? It would be nice, if
anybody could help me.
Bye Werner

The following shows how to set it up on a LAT, although the printcap entry is at the end. 1 Change directory to /dev cd /dev 2 Look for any ttys setup for LAT usage file tty* | grep LAT 3 Edit the ttys file to include LAT operation, supplied ttys file does not include LAT ports vi /etc/ttys LAT ttys should look like this: tty02 "/etc/getty std.9600 vt100 on secure modem # LAT tty Set up a tty line for printer access tty17 "/etc/getty std.9600 vt100 off secure modem # LAT tty 4 Kill the old ttys and restart the new ttys kill -1 1 5 Check to see if the LAT process is ACTIVE or INACTIVE lcp -d 6 Make the LAT process ACTIVE lcp -s 7 Recheck the LAT process to see that it is ACTIVE lcp -d 8 Manually start the LAT printer port lcp -h /dev/tty17:LAT_NAME:PORT_# 9 Check to see if the LAT printer port is set right lcp -p /dev/tty17 10 Use the lprsetup utility to set up the printcap file lprsetup 11 Terminate all active printer daemons and disable printing lpc abort all 12 Remove all files beginning with "cf", "tf", or "df" from the print queues lpc clean all 13 Look for the old lpd process ps ax | grep lpd 14 Kill the lpd process "/usr/lib/lpd" kill -9 112 15 Start the new lpd process including the new print queue /usr/lib/lpd & 16 Enable printing and start a spooling daemon for the listed printers lpc start all 17 Display the status of daemons and queues lpc stat all 18 Print a test file, in this case the printcap file lpr -P "printer_name" printcap 19 Edit the rc.local file, be sure the entry appears after the "local daemons section. [ -f /etc/lcp ] && { /etc/lcp -s -h /dev/tty17:LAT_NAME:PORT_# >/dev/console } This will cause the daemons to be activated at the next reboot. This is a copy of the printcap file after lprsetup added the second printer (the names lp0 and lp1 have been switched, allowing the added printer to be the default printer). # @(#)printcap 4.1 (ULTRIX) 11/23/87 lp1|1|local line printer:\ :lp=/dev/lp1:\ :of=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/lpf:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\ :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs: lp0|lp|0|notes$eng:\ :af=/usr/adm/lp1acct:\ :br#4800:\ :fc#0177777:\ :fs#03:\ :if=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/ln03of:\ :lf=/usr/adm/lp1err:\ :lp=/dev/tty15:\ :mx#0:\ :of=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/ln03of:\ :pl#66:\ :pw#80:\ :rw:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd1:\ :xc#0177777:\ :xf=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/xf:\ :xs#044000: -- +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | Dave Wright | Phone: (714) 952-6320 | | McDonnell Douglas M&E | Internet: wright@mdcbbs.com | | Software Engineering | UUCP: uunet!mdcbbs.com!wright | | P.O.Box 6011 | PSI: PSI%31060099980019::WRIGHT | | Cypress, Ca. 90630 | | +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
