A/UX: How to Print to a Specific AppleTalk Printer (8/94)


How do I print to a named AppleTalk printer instead of taking the default printer from the Chooser?

See the directions in /usr/spool/lpd/AppleTalk/ofilter. Basically, the steps are:

1) Add a new directory with the name of the printer in /usr/spool/lpd
2) Create a new named pipe in the new directory
3) Copy or link the ifilter and ofilter scripts into the new directory
4) Add a new entry to /etc/printcap describing the printer
