Assigning a print queue to the printer

■

For BSD systems, edit the /etc/printcap file and add a spool directory (for example, to 
/usr/spool/lpd).

For System V hosts, configure the queue as a remote BSD print queue (support for 
TCP/IP LPR is required).  Specific instructions for the following System V hosts are 
provided in this manual:

Note

Some UNIX hosts report an error when you configure a print queue that is not 
currently on the network; ignore this message. 

Assigning print queues with PhaserPrint for UNIX

For UNIX environments, Tektronix offers PhaserPrint for UNIX software, which provides 
fast raster printing and a graphical user interface with push-button control of printer 
features.  For more information on PhaserPrint software, see your printer’s networking 
setup guide.

If you want to print using PhaserPrint for UNIX software, you must use PhaserPrint 
software to configure your host.  Refer to the PhaserPrint for UNIX user manual or the 
instructions provided with the PhaserPrint for UNIX CD-ROM for configuration 
information.  A PDF version of the manual is available from the Tektronix ftp site: 

Required remote printer queue names 

The printer’s internal LPR queue uses the BSD protocol; its known queues are listed in the 
following table.  These are the only remote queue names that the printer recognizes.  If you 
use another name, the printer automatically defaults to AUTO.
