MultiView 2000® & MultiView 2000 Server Edition Support

How To:  Set Up LPR/LPD for UNIX SVR 4.x

IMPORTANT: You must be logged in as root to do the following.

To allow MultiView DeskTop LPR to use the LPD facility on the host:

1. Check that the port monitor is running on the host by typing:
      sacadm -l
2. Check that there is an entry for a tcp listener. The output should look similar to the following:
      tcp listen - 3 ENABLED /usr/lib/saf/listen -m inet/tcp tcp 2>/dev/null #
3. Check that the port monitor for LPD is running on the host by typing:
      pmadm -l -p tcp -s lpd
4. Check that there is an entry for the LPD listener. The output should look similar to the following:
      tcp listen lpd - root - \x00020203c1816d240000000000000000 - p - var/spool/lp/fifos/listenBSD #
5. Get the address of the LPD daemon on the host by typing:
      lpsystem -A
   The output should look similar to the following:
      00020203c1816d240000000000000000
   Make a note of this address it will be needed later in the configuration process.
6. Change the address of the LPD port monitor using sysadm by typing the following:
      sysadm ports
   A menu is displayed.
1. Select port_services from the menu. A sub-menu will then be displayed select modify from the menu.
2. Use the cursor keys to move the > symbol to the lpd entry and press enter.
3. Move the cursor to field labeled Server's private address and change the address to the one found in step 3.
   Note: Make sure that the line begins with \\x.
4. Press F3 to save the changes and then F7 to exit.
7. Make the print system aware of the PC running MultiView DeskTop which will be sending LPR print jobs, by typing the following command:
      lpsystem -t bsd <PC logical name>
   The PC logical name can be found in the /etc/hosts file.
8. Allow remote users access to the host printer queue, by tying the following command:
      lpadmin -p <printer name> -u allow:all!all
9. Stop and restart the UNIX print spooler to make the changes take effect by typing the following:
      lpshut - to stop the spooler
      /usr/lib/lpsched - to restart the spooler
10. Make sure the required printer queue will accept requests by typing:
    accept <printer queue name> enable <printer queue name>

Test the facility from MultiView DeskTop.

To allow the host LPR to use the MultiView DeskTop LPD facility

1. Make the print system aware of the PC running MultiView DeskTop which will be receiving LPR print jobs from the host, by typing the following command:
   lpsystem -t bsd <PC logical name>
   The PC logical name can be found in the /etc/hosts file
2. Set up a printer queue on the UNIX host to use the printer queue defined under MultiView DeskTop 4.2 LPD on the PC, by typing:
   lpadmin -p <queue name> -s <PC logical name>!<lpd queue name>
3. Make sure the required printer queue will accept requests by typing:
   accept <printer queue name> enable <printer queue name>

Test the facility from the UNIX host.
