Name
       lprsetup - printer spooler set up program

Syntax
       /etc/lprsetup

Description
       The command provides an interactive easy-to-use facility for administrating the line printers on your system.  The program contains on-line
       help and default answers to questions about adding, deleting, or changing the characteristics of any of the line printers on  your  system.
       Whenever  a  question  is  asked,  the  default	selection  is given in ] .  You can press Return in response to the question to accept the
       default, or enter an alternate value for the given parameter.

       The program knows about all of the possible symbols in the file.  See for a current list.  After you have entered a printer  specification,
       and  have  verified  that  it  is  correct,  then creates the spooling directory, links the output filter, and creates an entry for the new
       printer.

       If the printer is connected to your system, you must specify the printer device name which is in the lp printcap entry.

       If lp is set to nn you are prompted to choose between or If your printer is connected to a port on your system, choose the default setting,
       If you choose you are prompted for the baud rate, br.  The default is the recommended baud rate for the printer.

       If  you	want  to set up your printer to a LAT line, choose the option.	At this point, proceeds only if you have chosen a valid LAT device
       for lp.	It assumes that the LAT device has been configured for host initiated connections using If it has not, you must do this before the
       queue works.  For information about how to set up a LAT line, see Chapter 3 of the Guide to Ethernet Communications Servers.

       If  lp  is  set	to another device, for example the program assumes that you are setting up a printer with a parallel port, for example, It
       does not prompt you for device type information, and serial port specific entries are not put into the entry.

NAME

       ports, port_names - Device (tty and lp) names for serial and parallel ports

SYNOPSIS

       Default Serial Ports:

       /dev/tty00
       /dev/tty01 (not present on a single-port system)

       Parallel Port:

       /dev/lp0

DESCRIPTION

       AlphaStation  and AlphaServer systems provide one or two 9-pin serial communication ports. These ports are usually labelled 1 (COMM1) and 2
       (COMM2), but they may be identified by different icons.	Using the appropriate serial cable  and  terminator,  you  can	connect  a  serial
       printer,  external  modem, or character-cell terminal to a serial port. Most AlphaStation and AlphaServer systems also provide one parallel
       port, for use with a parallel printer.

       When you add a device to your system, the installation documentation may instruct you to map  the  device  pathname  to	the  port.   These
       devices are located in the /dev directory.

       For  serial-line  ports, the two default device pathnames are: This pathname always maps to 1, COMM1, the lowest port number, an icon for a
       terminal console, or the only serial port (on a single-port system).  This pathname always maps to 2, COMM2, the next numbered port, or (if
       one serial port is labeled with an icon for a terminal console) the remaining serial port.

       If  your system hardware has been extended to include additional serial ports, the pathnames /dev/tty02, /dev/tty03, and so forth, may also
       be available to you. However, most systems have only /dev/tty00 and /dev/tty01 as the device pathnames for serial ports.

       The one parallel port on an AlphaStation or AlphaServer may be labeled with the word printer or a printer icon. On some systems, the paral-
       lel  port may not be labeled.  The device pathname for the parallel port is /dev/lp0. Currently, Tru64 UNIX does not fully support parallel
       printers, so fewer devices are connected to this port as compared to serial ports.

       If you are connecting a terminal console to your system, it must be connected to the serial port mapped to  /dev/tty00.	For  other  serial
       devices,  it does not matter which of the serial ports you choose for the connection. For example, suppose you are setting up a system that
       has two serial ports, labeled 1 and 2. You intend to use a serial-line terminal rather than a workstation monitor as the system console and
       also  want  to  connect	a  serial-line	printer to the system. In this case, you must connect the terminal to the port labeled 1 (with the
       device pathname /dev/tty00). Therefore, you must connect the printer to the remaining port labeled 2 (with the device pathname /dev/tty01).

       If, for the same type of system, you intend to use a workstation monitor as the system console, it does not matter which  serial  port  you
       use  for  a serial-line printer or modem. In other words, you can connect the printer to either port 1 (with pathname /dev/tty00) or port 2
       (with pathname /dev/tty01).  When prompted to enter a /dev/tty** pathname by the lprsetup script or the Print configuration tool in the CDE
       Application Manager, you would specify /dev/tty00 if you connected the printer to port 1 or /dev/tty01 if you connected the printer to port
       2.

       See the System Administration manual for more information on setting up	consoles  (including  remote  consoles)  and  printers.   See  the
       modem(7) reference page for more information on setting up modems.
