Using the Installation Shell Script

9

The printing environment is automatically set up when the installation shell
script is executed.
This section describes setup contents when the installation shell script is execut-
ed under Red Hat Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX.

❖ Adding the IP address and host name to the /etc/hosts file

The following line is added to the /etc/hosts file. The IP address and printer
host name previously entered in the installation script will be used:
192.168.15.16 nphost # Network Printer

• “192.168.15.16” is the IP address. “nphost” is the host name. From # to the

end of the line is the comment.

❒ The /etc/hosts file contains a list of the IP addresses and names of all hosts

communicating on the network. Each entry is delimited with a space or a
tab, and each line is separated with a return.

❒ If you do not use NIS or DNS, you must enter the IP address and host name

of each workstation using the network printer in the /etc/hosts file.

❖ Adding an entry to the /etc/printcap file

The following entry is added to the /etc/printcap file, which is the configu-
ration for printing with the “lpr” command. In order to use the “lpr” com-
mand to print, you need to edit the /etc/hosts file, add an entry for the
network printer to the /etc/printcap file, and create a spool directory:
##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE
np|Network Printer:
      :rm=nphost:
      :rp=option:
      :sd=/var/spool/lpd/npd:
      :lf=/var/log/npd-errs:
      :sh:
      :mx#0:

❒ The /etc/printcap file is used to register the name and attributes of a print-

er. You must make an entry for the network printer in the /etc/printcap
file of all workstations using the network printer.

❒ You must make an entry for each printer option when using the same

printer.
