SETUPMACPRINTERS(1M)                                      SETUPMACPRINTERS(1M)



NAME
     setupMacPrinters - install a Macintosh or PC printer.

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/privbin/setupMacPrinters printerInfo

DESCRIPTION
     setupMacPrinters is a privileged command that installs a printer
     connected to a Macintosh or a NetWare server. After the installation, the
     installed printer can be administered by the Printer Manager and will
     work like a general printer connected to an SGI machine. The Macintosh or
     NetWare server needs to be on the same network as the SGI machine.

     The printerInfo string includes all the configuration information needed
     in the installation. If it is a Macintosh printer, printerInfo should
     have an "a:" as its prefix. If it is a PC printer, the prefix is "n:".
     The format of printerInfo is described below:

     To install a Macintosh printer:

     "a:-createq <local printer name> -O <real printer name> -Z <AppleTalk
     zone>"

     To remove a Macintosh printer:

     "a:-deleteq <local printer name>"

     To install a PC printer:

     a:p:<print queue>:<real printer name>@<NetWare sevrer>:<local printer
     name>

     To remove a PC printer:

     a:r:<print queue>:<real printer name>@<NetWare sevrer>:<local printer
     name>

CAVEATS
     setupMacPrinters will not successfully install Macintosh printers if
     AppleTalk software is not running on the SGI machine. Similarly, NetWare
     must be running in order to install a PC printer.
