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. SEE ALSO sysmgr(1M), runpriv(1M), mountfs(1M), umountfs(1M).
