termprinter(1)                   DG/UX 5.4.2                  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/lp/bin/lp.termprinter
       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/lp/bin/lp.termprinter utility in a file called:

          /tmp/lp.termprinter-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 lp.termprinter 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 lp.termprinter 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.
