4-26 Print Server Installation Manual
Procedure The installation involves the following steps:
Creating the Print Server Directories
Integrating Shell Scripts into System V Systems
Integrating Shell Scripts into BSD Systems
Integrating Shell Scripts into AIX Systems
4.6.1. Creating the Print Server Directories
All files that the print server specifically requires should be placed
in the '/etc/printserver' directory. In order to print via shell scripts,
the shell scripts must be transferred from the print server to the
'/etc/printserver' directory via FTP.
Procedure Proceed as follows:
1. Log on as root.
2. Create the '/etc/printserver/interfaces' directory:
cd /etc
mkdir printserver
cd printserver
mkdir interfaces
3. Open an FTP connection to the print server:
Syntax: ftp <IP Address>
Example: ftp 192.168.0.123
4. Download the shell scripts from the print server to the
'/etc/printserver' directory:
Example: mget *.sh
