configks - configuration program for K-Spool
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.7. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME configks - configuration program for K-Spool SYNOPSIS /usr/etc/appletalk/configks [-a] [-P printer ] [-T type ] [-Z zone ] DESCRIPTION The program configks configures printers on an AppleTalk network. The flags are defined as follows: -a look in all zones (default is the local zone) -P look for devices with this name (default is LaserWriter) -T look for this type of printer (default is LaserWriter) -Z look in this zone (default is local zone) This program looks for all AppleTalk printers that match the specified options. It then asks if you want to set up a spooler for them. It also prompts to see if you want to configure serial printers. For each spooler selected, the program prompts you for all necessary parameters (spool directory, whether you want accounting, spooler name, etc.) It then creates the spool directory, creates input and output filters for the printer, adds the necessary information to /usr/etc/appletalk/services and /etc/printcap, and then attempts to print a test page to the printer. If the program is unable to perform some portion of the installation, an error message will be printed and the operation will have to be done manually. All of the actions of configks(1m) can be undone with the unconfigks(1m) program. BUGS There is minimal error recovery.
