Unix/Linux Printing

Printing Text Files form Unix

Text files on Unix systems contain lines that end with “newline” characters, as

opposed to MS-DOS and Windows-related operating systems that end with a

carriage return followed by a linefeed. Most printers require a carriage

return/linefeed pair at the end of each line, making it necessary for some translation

to be done before Unix text files can be printed on most printers.

For this purpose, you can define two “printers” for the same printer port, one that

prints to the port itself, and one that prints to the port name with

_TEXT

added to the

name. Files printed to the second port will be translated so that the printer has the

carriage return/linefeed pairs that it needs.

For example, you could define a printer

hp5l

that prints to port

PS-142634-P1

,

and a printer

hp5lt

that prints to port

PS-142634-P1_TEXT

.

Your graphics files

could then be printed to the

hp5l

printer, and “raw” text files could be printed to the

hp5lt

printer.

Printing form BSD Unix Versions

For “flavors” of the Unix operating system derived from or related to the BSD

releases, such as SunOS 4.x, Linux, BSD/OS, FreeBSD, or NetBSD, you can use

the following procedure to enable users to print to a printer connected to your

D-LINK network print server:

1.

Log in as the superuser (root).

2.

Add an entry for the print server in the host’s

/etc/hosts

file, giving a hostname

for the print server’s IP address. A line in

/etc/hosts

contains an IP address

and one or more aliases for the host . For example:

202. 39. 74. 40

ps-142634

ps-142634.dlink.com.tw

If you use DNS (the Domain Naming Services protocol), you can add an address

record entry to your DNS database for the print server.

3.

Create a spool directory for the printer:

◊

On SunOS systems, create the directory as a subdirectory of

/var/spool

,

with the same name as the printer (e.g.,

/var/spool/hp5l

).

◊

On Linux systems, create the directory as a subdirectory of

/user/spool

/lp

.

◊

On BSD/OS, FreeBSD, or NetBSD systems, create the directory as

subdirectory of

/var/spool

.

4.

Change the owner and permissions of the directory so that it is owned and

writable by group

daemon

, using the following commands:
