We are using PC's attached to an Arcnet lan to access an RS6000 system using packet driver and NCSA telnet. We need to be able to print as transperently as possible to printers attached to the Arcnet (possibly via the same or a different PC). Any clues?? | / /~~ Public Unix BBS 24hrs | Ban French |_/ /\ |~\ |~\ /\ | |~ | | /~ | (~ Auckland NEW ZEALAND | nuclear | \ \,\ |,/ |,/ \,\ | | |_| \_ | _) KC BBS: 09-817-3714 | testing in | \ | | \__ Voice: 09-817-5569 | Pacific

TITLE: 901231 SETTING UP REMOTE PRINT SERVER WITH TWO RISC SYSTEMS ON AN ETHERNET. QUESTION: After thrashing around for a couple of days trying different combin- ations, I finally ran across the right method. However, I can find no clue in INFO or anywhere else for that matter that this is the right way to do this. Maybe it's suppose to be intuitively obvious to the casual observer, but it wasn't to me. Anyway here's the solution: 1. Define the printer using SMIT but don't define the Virtual printer yet. 2. Go to Manage Remote Printer Subsystem on the Client Service and Remote Printer Queues. Add a remote queue with the following definition: Name of queue rp0 Default queue yes Queueing Discipline first come first serve Activate the queue yes Accounting File pathname false Destination Host for remote jobs hostname Short Form Filter for queue /usr/lpd/bsdshort Long Form Filter for queue /usr/lpd/bsdlong Name of device on local host drp0 Name of queue on remote printer lp0 3. Now define the Virtual Printer using the following options: Queue device is lp0 Header pages n Trailer Pages n Print queue name rp0 Queue already exists do you want to add to it? y Now you need to start the lpd daemon on the Server and give access to the server by using SMIT. Do the following: Anyway, go into Manage Remote Printer Subsystem on the Server (SMIT), Server Services, Host Access for Printing, and enter your remote host name. Back out to Server Services, and choose lpd Remote printer Subsystem. Start the subsystem now and at IPL time. You should be ready to go. ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
