Setting Up the Plotter Extra Tips For UNIX Users Example 2: Configuring the SunOS 4.1.3 Print Spooler for Sun SPARCstations (serial interface) In order to perform the following steps you must be a superuser. 1 Create a directory for print spooling. All application users need read and write permission for this directory. For example, from the command line of a shell, type mkdir /usr/spool/cad chmod 777 /usr/spool/cad 2 Edit the /etc/printcap file to set up the plotter configuration. You must assign a name to each printer or plotter managed by the print spooler. Refer to the example below if you need help completing this step. 3 Add these lines to your /etc/printcap file if: your plotter is named djet, and your plotter is connected to the device named /dev/ttya (usually the first serial port on the workstation), and the spooling directory you created in step 1 is called /usr/spool/cad. # Entry for an HP plotter on a serial port djet:\ :lp=/dev/ttya:sd=/usr/spool/cad:br#9600:\ :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:\ :sf:sh:mx#0:xc#0177777:xs#040040:fc#050:\ :ms=-evenp: 4 Make sure the plotter's baud rate is 9600 and parity is even.
