CONFIGURING THE M208 FOR TCP/IP: Host Configuration 51
6 Try printing with the following syntax:
lpr -P
printername filename
System V UNIX
Printing in a System V environment requires the use of an interface file. It also con-
sists of:
• the lp printer interface program,
• the lpsched printing scheduler,
• a set of programs that act as interfaces between scheduler and printing device.
The scheduler copies the file into a spooling directory and calls the interface program
when the job is ready to go to the M208. It processes the job according to the script’s
settings and then sends it over to the M208 for printing.
The interface script is usually kept in /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces and carries
the same name as the associated printer. It is copied there from the original interface
file in /usr/spool/lp/model when the lpadmin command is executed.
The interface script is called with the following syntax:
ps203
reqid username title copies options file1
...
where:
ps203 Name of the interface script which is also the printer name on the host.
reqid Print job identification.
username ID of the user requesting the job.
title Title of the print job if desired.
copies Number of copies of each file to be printed.
options Additional switches for extra job processing options.
file1 Spool file.
... Indicates additional spool files.
