Solaris printing tricks (2.6+)

Simple interface for use with gs

#!/bin/sh
#/usr/ucb/logger -p local0.info 
"`basename $0` prints $6 from $2"

# status file

STATUSFILE=/dev/null

# limit CPU time to 90 secs

ulimit -t 90
if [ -f "$6" ]; then

       
/opt/gnu/bin/gs -q -sDEVICE=deskjet -r300 -sOutputFile=- -dNOPAUSE -- "$6"
2> $STATUSFILE

       
exit 0

fi

exit 2

Simple interface that uses netatalk to print to appletalk/ethertalk printers

#!/bin/sh

# pap script for lp systems
chdir "/etc/lp/printers/`basename $0`"
/usr/ucb/logger -p local0.info "/opt/atalk/bin/pap
$2 prints $6 to `cat .paprc`"
if [ -r "$6" ]; then

    /opt/atalk/bin/pap
"$6"

    exit $?

fi

Adding local print queue for HP JetDirect printer

lpadmin -p<printer_name> -o protocol=bsd,dest=<host_or_ip_of_print_server_or_printer>
-T PS -I postscript -v /dev/null -i /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard
