5 INSTALLING PRINTER DRIVERS FOR UNIX/Linux
 Configuring the print queue
After you copy UNIX/Linux Filters, you can configure the print queue.
There are two ways to configure the print queue: one is creating a print queue using estcoloradd/estbwadd,
and the other is creating a print queue manually without using estcoloradd/estbwadd.

Creating a print queue using estcoloradd/estbwadd
You can create a print queue using estcoloradd/estbwadd.
1
Log on to the root account.
2
Enter the following command:
Color MFP:
estcoloradd <queue name> <host name or IP address>
Black and White MFP:
estbwadd <queue name> <host name or IP address>
 This command creates a print queue using the system’s lpadmin command. It also creates a
configuration file that has the destination IP address or host name. Use the configuration file to
change print queue parameters.
 The lpadmin command saves a printer interface file as the print queue name, and the
configuration file is stored in a file named <queue name>.conf. The interface file and
configuration file is saved in following directory.
- Solaris: /etc/lp/interfaces
- HP-UX: /etc/lp/interface
- IBM AIX: /opt/toshiba/tap/filter
- Linux: /opt/toshiba/tap/interface
- Open UNIX: /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces
 Under Linux, the printtool (or equivalent) utility must be used to add the printer into the lp printing
system after executing the estcoloradd/estbwadd command. For printtool utility, refer to the
manual of the OS.
Creating a Print Queue Manually
You can also configure the print queue by adding a remote printer manually.
The procedure varies depending on the operating systems.

Use Bourne Shell(sh) to create a print queue manually.
Creating a print queue manually on Solaris
1
Log on to the root account.
2
Open your UNIX/Linux editor.
3
Create the following file.
/etc/lp/interfaces/<queue name>.conf
4
Add a line as below in the <queue name>.conf.
