Printing via Shell Scripts
4-32 Print Server Installation Manual
'/etc/printserver/interfaces' directory. After that, the shell script is
adapted to your system. This basically means that the host name of
the print server, the logical printer, and the FTP path must be
edited.
Please read the "Description of Variables" section on page A-4 if
necessary.
Procedure Proceed as follows:
1. Copy the '/etc/printserver/bsd.sh' file into the
'/etc/printserver/interfaces' subdirectory and assign the copy an
arbitrary name:
Syntax: cd /etc/printserver
cp bsd.sh interfaces/<shell script name>
Example: cd /etc/printserver
cp bsd.sh interfaces/my_script
2. Change to the '/etc/printserver/interfaces' subdirectory.
3. Change the access rights of the created file:
Syntax: chmod 755 <shell script name>
Example: chmod 755 my_script
4. Change the default values of the HOST, PORTS, and FTP
variables in the new shell script.
4.6.3.2. Creating the Printer Device
The print spooler requires a printer device. Due to the fact that the
print server does not need a physical device, a link is made to a
zero device.
