[shan_7]

Hi everybody,

One Hp D-class server with Hp-ux 10.20 server. i installed full CDE installation. Now i need to connect the the server to remote serial line printers. its connected with one 1600-E LANStrem. the Lansrtem connected to server already. its pinging with server also.so how to configure the Line printers to server thru Lanstrem.
Is there any patches required for connecting the printers.
Help me in this case..

Thanks in advance,

With cheers,

Shankar ganesh.

HCLite,

Can't get it on top of my head at the moment but I think the procedure is more or less the same

1. Install Fixed Port daemon (Third party product ; "fptyd")
2. Fix the ports on a Terminal server to a device file
3. Thru sam, create a printer on Non-standard device files

Regds,

Hi,

i tried but the device file is not creating for printers.
first i made entry in fptyd.conf .in that
i typed following formay
/dev/pty/ttya1 192.9.225.6 s1
/dev/pty/ttya3 192.9.225.6 s3
ttya1 is fixed port 192.9.225.6 is IP for Lanstrem s1 lanstrem side port no.
then thru SAM i installed the printers in non standard mode.
after i rebooted . but it not showing the dev file i.e /dev/pty/ttya1 or ttya3.
reply please..

It doesn't create the device files FYI .. if u do not have enough device files create it from SAM .. Why don't you use an existing pseudo device file ?

Also i am not sure ftpyd.conf syntax is correct is it really s1 s2 or just 1 2 3 .....

BTW have u started ftpyd daemon ? Is it running for every device file ??

Kapil, you are simply Great!!!!

It worked out...The devices files /dev/pty/ttya3 and /dev/pty/ttya2 were not existing. Configured the fptydaemon on to the new device files.
restarted the deamon, configured the printer to use the new device files and the printer started printing.

Thanks Very much kapil!!!

Shankar, Its your time now to assign points to kapil.

Thanks Once Again
