SAP Note 28843 - DEC LPS17 printer definition

Symptom:

LPS17 setup and definition

Cause and prerequisites
Solution
The network laser printer LPS17 (DEC) is set up in the following way under R/3.
1. The server software for DEC UNIX from the DEC Customer Service must be installed.
2. The client must be set up. (check xlpsrc)
3. A queue must be set up, which should look like this:
(in the printcap file on the system on which the LPS client is installed)
ps1|lp|lp1|PS1 (PrintServer lps17/):\
:lp=/dev/null-ps1:\
:sd=/var/spool/ps1:\
:of=/usr/opt/LPS/bin/OSF1_V3.2/lpsof:\
:if=/usr/opt/LPS/bin/OSF1_V3.2/lpsif:\
:af=/var/adm/ps1.acct:\
:lf=/var/adm/ps1.log:\
:pl#66:pw#80:mx#0:sh:

After this, a printer with type POSTSCPT is defined in R/3.
The LPS17 can, of course, also be defined as a remote queue on the R/3 System, in order to print on another system (the LPS server). (no filter is then necessary on the local machine).
