README for February 2004 Enhanced Printer Drivers Version 4.8.2 for UNIX(R) Systems Table of Contents ----------------- Installing and Removing Enhanced Printer Drivers Before Re-installing De-install all currently-installed MVprint components Installation quirks using pkgadd Package removal quirks using pkgrm Recommended operating system levels and patches Installing Enhanced Printer Drivers in an NIS environment Known Problems Creating Queues on Linux Systems ( Queue already exists ) HP-UX 10.20 ( Segmentation Fault occurs when running cat_network ) Obtaining additional information Installing and Removing Enhanced Printer Drivers ------------------------------------------------ Before Re-installing -------------------- De-install the Enhanced Printer Drivers component --------------------------------------------------------- Use the command appropriate for your system, e.g. 'pkgrm' on a SysV-based UNIX, to de-install the currently-installed MVprint component. Installation quirks using pkgadd -------------------------------- Some systems using the pkgadd utility require you to create the installation directory before continuing the installation process. Once the directory is created, pkgadd may display a message about a conflicting directory. You may see a message similar to the following displayed: -------------------------------------------------------------------- The following files are already installed on the system and are being used by another package: /opt/install_dir Do you want to install these conflicting files [y,n,?,q] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Select "yes" to continue the installation. This message is meant to warn you about possible conflicts. Once you select "yes" the installation process should continue without further warnings. Package removal quirks using pkgrm ---------------------------------- When removing Enhanced Printer Drivers components on systems using the pkgrm utility, the last component may partially fail to remove. pkgrm does not completely remove the component because Enhanced Printer Driver components store some configuration information in the install directories. Recommended operating system levels and patches ----------------------------------------------- Before installing Enhanced Printer Drivers, use the table below to make sure your operating system is at the required minimum level, with all noted patches applied. In general, you should apply the latest patches recommended by your operating system vendor. Sun: 2.6, 7, 8, 9 Apply all the currently recommended patches for your level of Solaris. Refer to the Sun web site: http://access1.sun.com/patch.recommended/rec.html The following is the list of LP/SSPC patches recommended when this product shipped: SunSoft Print Client (SSPC) ( aka lplite ) SPARC SSPC 1.0 patch 104734-01 AIX: 4.2.1, 4.3.3, 5.1, 5.2 Digital Unix: 4.0D, 4.0F, 5.1 HP-UX: System Patch Name Patch ID ------ ---------- -------- 10.20 Xcurses curses.h PHCO_21018 11.00 11.11 RedHat Linux 7.2, 7.3, 8.0 Silicon Graphics IRIX 6.x: 6.2 or higher Note: This version of Enhanced Drivers was built using the the n32 ABI. IRIX 6.2 does not automatically libraries for the n32 ABI, but the n32 libraries are available on the IRIX 6.2 installation CDs. Make sure you have the /usr/lib32/libm.so file installed. If you do not have /usr/lib32/libm.so file installed, install the compiler_eoe.sw32.lib package from the IRIX 6.2 installation CDs. SCO UnixWare: 2.1.3 To run Enhanced Printer Drivers on Unixware 2.1.3, you must install the BSD compatibility package recommended by SCO. It can be downloaded from SCO's web site. SCO Openserver 5: 5.0.5, 5.0.6 To run Enhanced Printer Drivers on SCO Openserver 5.0.5 you have to install the OSR compatibility package recommended by SCO. It can be downloaded from SCO's web site. SuSE Linux 7.2, 7.3, 8.0 UnixWare 7: System Patch Name Patch ID ------ ---------- -------- 7.0 RS 7.01 libc PTF version d ptf7051d 7.1 Installing Enhanced Printer Drivers in an NIS environment --------------------------------------------------------- The Enhanced Printer Drivers package can be configured to allow access to privileged functions to a certain group. This group can be set using the "setup.print" script after installing the Enhanced Printer Drivers component "MVprint". The setup script will only allow local groups on the machine. If you are using NIS and would like to setup the group map through NIS, select the default group in the setup script. Change the group manually as follows : - su to root - change directory to /usr/markvision/bin - chgrp * Known Problems -------------- Creating Queues on Linux Systems ( Queue already exists ) ------------------------------------------------------------- Many Linux systems, such as RedHat, use a Printing SubSystem called LPRng. This SubSystem requires a Valid Print Queue Entry in the /etc/printcap file before the LPD program will start. Enhanced Printer Drivers requires a running LPD program to create queues. If the LPD program is not currently running or there is not a valid print queue entry in the /etc/printcap file, lexprt (mklexque) will display the error "queue already exists" when you try to create a print queue. To correct this, start the LPD program manually by typing the following command. # /usr/sbin/lpd After starting the LPD program, lexprt (mklexque) will be able to create print queues. HP-UX 10.20 ( Segmentation Fault occurs when running cat_network ) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Enhanced Printer Drivers requires the following patched to be installed on a HP-UX 10.20 system. PHCO_21018 B.10.00.00.AA Xcurses library, curses.h cumulative patch Obtaining additional information -------------------------------- Additional information on configuring and using Enhanced Printer Drivers may be found in the man pages and in /usr/markvision/docs after the Enhanced Printer Drivers components are installed. *********************************************************************** * Lexmark, MarkNet, MarkVision, and Optra are trademarks of Lexmark * * International, Inc, and may be registered in some countries. * * * * All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. * * * *********************************************************************** * (c) Copyright 1995, 2004 Lexmark International, Inc. * * All rights reserved * ***********************************************************************
