mkscsipr(1M)

NAME
     mkscsipr - installs a SCSI interface System V printer

SYNOPSIS
     mkscsipr

DESCRIPTION
     mkscsipr installs a printer with a SCSI interface for use with the System
     V printer spooling system.

     mkscsipr is an interactive installation program that will display
     available options and prompt for the relevant installation parameters.
     Unlike printers with parallel or serial interfaces, SCSI interface
     printers must be connected to the workstation and powered on before the
     workstation is powered on. In addition, SCSI devices should never be
     disconnected from the workstation or powered off while the workstation is
     on.

     You must be root to execute mkscsipr. The program first asks for the name
     you wish to give the SCSI printer. This name must be no more than
     fourteen characters. See lpadmin(1M) for more information on naming
     printers. After entering a name for the printer, the program will display
     a list of SCSI printers that were detected on the system by a poll of the
     SCSI bus. Enter the controller and unit numbers for the printer you wish
     to install. If a printer is already installed for a controller/unit, the
     name of the printer will be displayed in the list. If printers are
     detected on different interfaces (e.g. vme-scsi and scsi) you will be
     asked to specify the interface before specifying the controller and unit
     number.

     Once a controller and unit number (and possibly an interface) have been
     selected for the printer, a list of printer types will be displayed.
     Enter the number of the printer type you wish to install.

     The printer will be installed and the current printing environment will
     be displayed (i.e. lpstat -t).

NOTE
     This command can only be used by the system administrator.
