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.

Log on to the root account.

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
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.
