Adding network printers in SAM

[Ian Warner]

I have added a network printer using SAM. I now need to print to that device using the device name, but SAM has set it it be /dev/null. How can I set the device so I can access it via a device name?

Hi,

Network printers have /dev/null as device.
You can check out all your configured printers using:
lpstat -t

Use the name of the spooler to print to.

I would normally, however, the compiler I am using needs the device name if I am sending a print that displays a forms message. Does this mean I cannot do this to a network printer?

Hi Ian,

DDFA allows you to configure this.

man ddfa
