[comp.unix.ultrix] lat printers with ultrix2.0

What is the procedure on the ultrix side for establishing a lat printer.
I've noted the -H switch on the lcp program and I guess beyond that all
that is required is some sort of spooler program like LATSYM(vms).

Can anyone point me at the latsym equivalent on the Ultrix 2.0 distribuition
or is there some other way of doing it?

Thanks much

If I understand the question, it's a fairly easy solution.

        o pick a tty line to be dedicated to the lat printer
        o update /etc/rc.local with :: /etc/lcp -s -h /dev/ttyXX
        o change ttyXX in /etc/ttys to "off nomodem"
        o restart the gettys :: kill -1 1
        o create an entry in /etc/printcap for the printer
        o create the spooling directory for that printer
        o using lpc abort and restart the daemon

Is this what you wanted to hear??
