     termprinter(1)             DG/UX 4.31              termprinter(1)



     NAME
          termprinter - print a file using the 40014A Terminal Server

     SYNOPSIS
          /var/spool/lp/model/termprinter

     DESCRIPTION
          This script takes the file to be printed from standard
          input.  This script combines print header information with
          the file to be printed and then sends the file to a printer
          connected to a DG model 40014A Terminal Server through the
          use of the /usr/lib/lptermprinter utility.  This routine
          does not perform any conversion except for tab expansion
          before sending it to the print routine.

          This routine will store any output from the
          /usr/lib/lptermprinter utility in a file called:

             /tmp/lptermprinter-printer-name-job-number

          where printer-name and job-number are the same as those
          returned by the lp program when the print job is queued.
          This file is not deleted when lptermprinter returns with a
          status value greater than 0.

          This routine takes the name of the printer, which will be
          the name of the script after it has been copied by the
          sysadm utility, and uses this as the host name for the
          lptermprinter utility.  For this reason, the printer should
          have been set up as a host using the sysadm utility under
          the same name assigned to the printer.

          Refer to the "40014A Terminal Server / AViiON Release
          Notice" for further information.
