CONFIGKS(1M)     K-Spool by Xinet (9/29/94 8.1)      CONFIGKS(1M)



     NAME
          configks - configuration program for K-Spool

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/etc/appletalk/configks [-a] [-P printer ] [-T type ]
          [-Z zone ]

     DESCRIPTION
          The program configks configures printers on an AppleTalk
          network.  The flags are defined as follows:

          -a   look in all zones (default is the local zone)

          -P   look for devices with this name (default is
               LaserWriter)

          -T   look for this type of printer (default is LaserWriter)

          -Z   look in this zone (default is local zone)

          This program looks for all AppleTalk printers that match the
          specified options.  It then asks if you want to set up a
          spooler for them.  It also prompts to see if you want to
          configure serial printers.

          For each spooler selected, the program prompts you for all
          necessary parameters (spool directory, whether you want
          accounting, spooler name, etc.)  It then creates the spool
          directory, creates input and output filters for the printer,
          adds the necessary information to
          /usr/etc/appletalk/services and /etc/printcap, and then
          attempts to print a test page to the printer.

          If the program is unable to perform some portion of the
          installation, an error message will be printed and the
          operation will have to be done manually.

          All of the actions of configks(1m) can be undone with the
          unconfigks(1m) program.

     BUGS
          There is minimal error recovery.
