Problem statement:
I want to make a GPX station running Ultrix 3.0 use a PS printer that
has been configured off of a decserver.
Configuration steps done so far:
a) I have created the PRINTCAP entry for the new printer in which
I tell lpd the LAT device and LAT port on which the PS printer
is connected.
b) I created all needed directories under /usr/spool for the new
printer queue area, accounting info, etc.
c) Now I need to make a node under /dev for the new printer,
however, I can not figure out how to create the node and give
ultrix enough information about the LAT device and port number
when I create the node. I have tried MAKEDEV and mknode, but I
always get an errors from them. Besides, I do not understand
where to include the LAT device address and port number if I am
using these commands.
Question:
What am I doing wrong ?
Thank you in advance.
