The
-d
flag indicates the print queue name for the print job.
Installation Prerequisites
There are several prerequisite tasks that you must complete before you can install the
software. A description of each one is as follows:
1.
You must be a Super User (Root) in order to install UNIX Printing Software.
Refer to the section,
“Super User Privileges” on page 4-60
to learn more about
this topic.
2.
You must make a temporary directory for the software kit. Refer to the section,
“Create a Temporary Directory” on page 4-60
to learn more about this topic.
3.
You are going to need to untar the Tar file once the software kit is in its temporary
directory. Refer to the section,
“Unarchiving .tar Files” on page 4-61
to learn more
about this topic.
4.
With the Tar File unarchived, you can run the lpspr_install command. Refer to the
section within this chapter that is specific to your UNIX system.
5.
You should have a basic understanding about UNIX printing subsystems and the
types of commands that they require.
i
The installation script lpspr_install prompts you to select a path for
LPRCOM
and
a flag for
LPRFLAG
.
LPRCOM
is a program file that sends flags to the spooler daemon for printing. It
has a default path of /usr/bin/lpr. You can accept the default path by pressing
RETURN
, or you can provide a new one at the command line.
LPRFLAG
is an
LPRCOM
flag that is usually followed by the print queue name.
The flag that you select for
LPRFLAG
will depend upon your UNIX printing
subsystem. If it is a BSD-derivative, press
RETURN
to select the default flag
-P
.
However, if the subsystem is a SYSTEM V derivative, you must change the
default flag to
-d
.
