ABSTRACT:
	You use the "add" task to add a new printer to the print
	service.  Minimally you'll need to know:

	* the port to which the printer is connected.

	Better service will be provided to you and the users if you
	also specify:

	* the type of printer (as listed in the Terminfo
	database--see the System Administrator's Guide for help on
	this);

	* the default page size and print spacing that should be in
	effect;

	* how you are to be alerted when a problem occurs with the
	printer;

	* what print wheels, font cartridges, or character sets are
	available on the printer;

	* what forms can be used on the printer;

	* what types of data can be printed by this printer


add:F1:
	You are expected to enter the name of the printer. Names
	must be made up of letters, digits, and underscores.

add:F2:
	You are expected to enter the name of the system
	where this printer is physically connected.

add:F3:
	You may enter the name of a printer that already has been
	added.  The existing printer's configuration will be used as
	a guide for answering the rest of the questions.  If there
	are no printers defined that are similar to this one, enter
	"none".

add:F7:	
	A Dial-up printer uses the Basic Networking Utilities 
	dial routine to access a remote printer.

	
conf.lcl:F2:
	You are expected to enter the name of a class of printers to
	which this printer should belong.  Classes are used to group
	similar printers under a single name, so that users can pick
	a class as the destination for their print request.  This
	helps when you want to control to some extent the printing
	load on the printers in the class: The printers are selected
	from the class in the order they have been added.  Thus the
	first printers in the class will generally be the busiest,
	and the last printers in the class will be the least used.

	You don't need to group printers by manufacturer or by
	similar type as the Line Printer Service automatically does
	that.  When user's specify the type of files they want to
	print but don't select a particular printer, any printer that
	will handle the type will be used.
	
conf.lcl:F3:Description of the printer:
	You may  enter a single line of text that will be
	displayed to people whenever they ask for a description of
	the printer.
	
conf.lcl:F4:Printer type:
	You are expected to identify the type of printer this is.
	You must give a name that's known in the Terminfo database;
	you will be told if it isn't.

	The printer type is needed if the Line Printer Service is to:
	screen print requests that ask for certain page sizes, print
	spacing, and character sets; verify the default page sizes,
	print spacing, and list of available character sets you give
	later; and properly initialize the printer before printing a
	user's files.  You do not have to give a printer type,
	though.
	
conf.lcl:F5:File Types printable without filtering:
	You are expected to identify the types of files the printer
	can handle directly, without filtering.  Some printers can
	accept several types because they convert them automatically
	into a common type or in some other way understand the
	different control sequences in each type.  You should list
	all the types the printer can handle.

	The default type, "simple," refers to a file that contains
	only printable ASCII, spaces, tabs, linefeeds, and
	backspaces.  If a file contains any other control or meta
	characters, it cannot be of type "simple."  If the printer
	can accept "simple" files, give that name here.
	
conf.lcl:F6:Can a user skip the banner page:
	Enter "yes" if a user can skip the printing of a banner page
	before his or her request, or "no" if not.  It is generally a
	good idea to require the printing of banner pages, because it
	will help the people who have to separate output into
	individual print-outs for each user, unless you have some
	other means of doing this.  There are cases, such as the
	printing of checks, where being able to turn off the banner
	page is important.

conf.lcl:F7:
conf.lcl:F8:
conf.lcl:F9:
conf.lcl:F10:
	Use the default page size and printing pitch:
	
	Enter "yes" if you will accept the default pitch and size or
	don't want to change them.  Enter "no" if you want to specify
	the line or character spacing (printing pitch) or page size
	that should be in effect when users' files are printed.  Note
	that any defaults you give here will be used only if a user
	does not print on a form or does not specify an alternate
	page size or print spacing.

	If you do not specify the defaults, the defaults will be
	those provided by the printer after it has been initialized.
	Typically this is 10 characters per inch, 6 lines per inch,
	and 80 or 132 columns by 66 lines, but this is NOT
	guaranteed.  If you aren't sure that the defaults will be
	adequate, enter "yes" and specify them.
*****
	
conf.lcl:F11:Command to run for alerts:
	You are expected to enter: the word "mail" if you want a
	message mailed to you when the printer has a problem; the
	word "write" if you want the message sent to whatever
	terminal you are logged in to; or leave this field blank if
	you don't want to be reminded.  You can also give a shell
	command if you want to be reminded but not by mail or a
	written message, or if you want someone else notified.

	For instance, if you want a message written to the user
	"chris" enter the following:
	
	write chris
	
conf.lcl:F12:Frequency of alert (in minutes):
	You are expected to enter the number of minutes that should
	elapse between repeated alerts.  To keep you informed that a
	problem still exists, the Line Printer Service will keep
	issuing alerts until the problem has been fixed.  Entering
	"Once" will mean you want to be alerted just once.
	
conf.lcl:F13:Printer recovery method:
	You are expected to specify how the Line Printer Service
	should recover after a printer problem has been fixed.  Enter
	"continue" if the printer is to continue printing at the top
	of the page where printing stopped.  Enter "beginning" if it
	is to start at the beginning again.  Enter "wait" if it is to
	leave the printer disabled and wait for someone to enable the
	printer again.

	WARNING:

	The Line Printer Service requires the use of a filter to
	provide the ability to continue where printing stopped.  If a
	filter capable of this is not being used when a printer stops
	with a problem, then you will be told in the alert message
	printing won't continue where it left off if you had wanted
	it to.
	
conf.lcl:F14:Device or Address:
	If this printer is directly connected, you must identify
	which port is used.
	
	If this printer is connected through a network, you must
	specify the dialing instructions to use to connect to the
	printer.  The Basic Networking Utilities will be used for all
	network connections.  Enter the same argument (a phone number
	or system name) you would give with the "cu" shell command to
	reach the printer.  (Don't give any of the "cu" options.) You
	will have to set up the Basic Networking configuration for
	this to work.  (See "Defining the Configuration of a Printer"
	under "Printer Management" in the System Administrators
	Guide.)
	
conf.lcl:F16:Is the printer directly connected:
	Enter "yes" if this printer directly connected to this
	system.  Enter "no" if this printer is connected through a
	network.
	
conf.lcl:F17:Is the printer also a login terminal:
	Enter "yes" if this printer is also used as a login terminal
	by someone, or enter "no" otherwise.

pwheel:ABSTRACT:
	You use this subtask to define the set of print wheels or
	font cartridges that users may request for this printer.

pwheel:F1
	You are expected to enter the list of print wheels or font
	cartridges that are available for this printer.  You can
	choose whatever names you want, as long as they are composed
	of letters, digits, and underscores and are 14 characters
	long or less.  However, you should use names consistently: If
	another printer has a print wheel or cartridge that is
	similar enough that users won't care about the difference,
	name them the same.

	If you don't list the print wheels or cartridges available
	for this printer, the Line Printer Service will assume that
	none can be used on it.  Print requests for a print wheel or
	cartridge not listed here will be refused UNLESS you first
	mount it on the printer.  (Giving a list here will not
	restrict you from mounting other print wheels or cartridges
	on the printer.)


charset:ABSTRACT:
	You are expected to list aliases for the character sets
	defined for this printer, mapping each one to a name defined
	in the Terminfo database for this type of printer.  You don't
	have to give a list here, because the Line Printer Service
	will use the list given in the Terminfo database, or will use
	the names "cs0", "cs1", "cs2", etc., as alternatives to real
	names.  However, the names given in the Terminfo database may
	not be consistent across all printers, and the names "cs0",
	etc.  are not descriptive, so users may be confused.

	You can help avoid this confusion by listing the names you
	would like people to use on your system.  If you have a mix
	of printers of different styles, some that take print wheels,
	some that take font cartridges, and some that have selectable
	character sets, you can give the same names for the print
	wheels, cartridges, and character sets that print
	sufficiently similar.

comm.lcl:F2:
	Enter the baud rate that your printer expects to use.  If you
	are using a parallel port, ignore this field.

comm.lcl:F3:
	You are expected to enter the parity setting for the printer
	that will be connected to this device.

	(For more information, see "parenb" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F4:
	Enter the number of stop bits the printer expects between
	characters.

	(For more information, see "cstopb" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F5:
	Character size if the number of bits per character.  USASCII
	uses 7 bits; printing with foreign character sets will often
	require 8 bits.

	(For more information, see "cs5, cs6, cs7, cs8" under
	"stty(1)" in the "User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F6:
	This should be "Y" if your printer drops DTR when a fault
	occurs.  If your printer drop DTR when its buffer reaches
	capacity, enter "N."

	(For more information, see "clocal" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F7:
	This should be "Y" if your printer expects to use XON/XOFF
	(DC3/DC1) flow control.  Only set this to "N" if you have a
	fast filter which supports a flow control other than
	XON/XOFF.

	(For more information, see "ixon" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F8:
	This should be set to "N" unless your printer expects to
	restart output with some character other that XON.

	(For more information, see "ixany" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F9:
	Postprocessing of output may include: delays for certain
	characters, tab expansion, mapping of newline and carriage
	return, and mapping of lowercase to uppercase.  This must be
	set to "Y" if your printer needs any of these features.

	(For more information, see "opost" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F10:
	If your printer will map a newline return to a carriage
	return-newline pair, set this to "N."  Otherwise, leave this
	"Y."

	(For more information, see "ocrnl" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F11:
	If your printer is incapable of printing lowercase
	characters, enter "Y."  Otherwise, enter "N."

	(For more information, see "olcuc" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F12:
	This specifies how much the system should delay after issuing
	a carriage return.  The values are relative with 0 being no
	delay and 3 being the maximum delay.

	(For more information, see "cr0, cr1, cr2, cr3" under
	"stty(1)" in the "User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F13:
	This specifies how much the system should delay after issuing
	a newline.  The values are relative with 0 being no delay and
	1 being the maximum delay.

	(For more information, see "nl0, nl1" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F14:
	This specifies how much the system should delay after issuing
	a backspace.  The values are relative with 0 being no delay
	and 1 being the maximum delay.

	(For more information, see "bs0, bs1" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F15:
	This specifies how much the system should delay after issuing
	a formfeed.  The values are relative with 0 being no delay
	and 1 being the maximum delay.

	(For more information, see "ff0, ff1" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F16:
	This specifies how much the system should delay after issuing
	a vertical tab.  The values are relative with 0 being no
	delay and 1 being maximum delay.

	(For more information, see "vt0, vt1" under "stty(1)" in the
	"User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F17:
	This specifies how much the system should delay after issuing
	a carriage return.  The values are relative with 0 being no
	delay and 2 being the maximum delay.  If your printer does
	not support tabs, enter "EXPAND" and tabs will be expanded to
	an appropriate number of spaces.  .sp Note that if the
	printer expects tabs as part of a control sequence or you
	intend to print binary, graphic images, you probably don't
	want tabs to be expanded.

	(For more information, see "tab0, tab1, tab2, tab3" under
	"stty(1)" in the "User's Referance Manual.")

comm.lcl:F18:
	Any other options not listed in the menu that you wish to
	supply to the stty(1) command should be entered here.

	(For more information, see "stty(1)" in the "User's Referance
	Manual.")
