    ADD A NEW PRINT SERVICE

    In Enlighten, you can define a printer as a print server or a print
    client. Altogether, there are three options for configuring a
    printer when you click on the Add button: as a Print Client, a Local
    Print Server, or a Network Print Server.

    Each of these windows contain buttons and fields which are common to
    both print client and print server configurations.

    Apply

    Save the configuration specified.

    Clear Fields

    Click on this button to clear the existing choices in all fields.

    Cancel

    Click on this button to close the window without making any changes.

    These fields are the same as the ones for the Local Print Server,
    except you need to specify an I.P. Address for the network printer
    rather than a Device name for a local printer. See "Local Print
    Server" on page 7-5 for a description of the rest of the fields in
    this Print Services window.

    Print Service Type

    A set of toggle buttons to specify if a printer client or printer
    server is being configured. The setting here will determine the look
    of the rest of the window.

    The following subsections details the window and field formats for
    each option.

    Device

    This is the device, such as /dev/lp (parallel) or /dev/ttyh7
    (serial), where the printer will be attached. This device must
    already exist.

    Server Hostname

    This field specifies which host in the current pool will be used as
    the print server for this printer. The arrow button to the right
    will pop up a list of all hosts in the current pool.

    Printer Model

    This field lists the type of printer driver to be used. A hostname
    must be entered in the Server Hostname field before selecting a
    driver. The arrow button to the right will pop-up a window listing
    of all the available printer models.

    This field is mandatory. See "Custom Driver" on page 7-11 for more
    information on creating your own printer drivers.

    Note: When you add a printer to the system, it is automatically
    enabled.

    Class

    For systems using the System V type spooling system, a printer can
    be added to a printer "Class". A printer class is a printer
    designation where the first available printer in the class will the
    print the job. This is a useful mechanism to better distribute print
    jobs on multiple printers of the same type.

    This field is an optional field. If no printer class is entered,
    then the printer (queue) will not be put into a printer class. If a
    printer class is entered and it does not exist, the class will
    automatically be created.

    This field is not used by systems using the Berkeley style printer
    spooler (lpd) or by IBM AIX systems.

    Hosts Allowed Access

    This text field can be used to specify which hosts are allowed
    access to the print server. The arrow button to the right will pop
    up a list of all hosts in the current pool.

    Network Print Server

    To configuring printers as network print servers, select the Server
    and Network options from the Add Print Services window, as shown
    below.

    Hostname

    Use this field if you want to configure the new printer on a subset
    of the currently managed hosts. Leave a blank space between each
    host name if you are specifying multiple entries. You can also click
    on the arrow button to the right to bring up a pick list of all
    currently managed hosts and make your selections from there.

    Local Queue Name

    This field specifies the full pathname for the local printer queue.

    Remote Host

    This field lists the host being used as the print server for this
    particular client. The arrow button to the right will pop up a list
    of all hosts in the current pool.

    Remote Printer

    This text field specifies the remote printer used to service the
    print jobs. The arrow button to the right will pop up a list of all
    known printers defined on hosts in the current pool.
