I'm not comfortable or familiar with exactly how you go about sending a request that includes *content* like click here, enter this, click there, get a response or alternatively here is my XML data to which I will wait for a response for you Mr Web service thingie.

[U2] AIX and Universe and Network Printers
I'm running AIX 4.3.3 on an RS6000 - model F50, and running UniVerse release 9.6.2.5. We have a couple of printers which connect directly into the F50 (both serial and parallel) and are easy to describe to Universe. We have NO AIX/Unix Print Queues for these printers. I also have a Printronix P5220S printer which I would like to place on the network for the RS6000. The printer has an ethernet port and has been configured to the proper network settings (ie it has an IP address). Currently the printer works very well via the parallel port. My problem is configuring the printer to work with Universe via network setup. I'm not sure whether to configure a Print Queue on the AIX/Unix side or not. I've heard you have to configure a Print Queue on the AIX/Unix side. QUESTIONS: Do you have to have a Print Queue configured in AIX/Unix in order to define/configure the printer in Universe? If a print queue has to be defined in AIX/Unix, how do you configure the network printer to Universe? If a print queue does NOT have to be defined in AIX/Unix, how do you configure the network printer to Universe? If anyone using AIX and Universe and have setup network printer(s) like the Printronix, I would like to hear what the proper procedure for configuring the printer(s) so Universe knows about them, especially if you have to use a driver or script on the Universe side.

You need to be aware that if you go down this route then every Accuterm client PC that requires the functionality would require the XML library installing locally (or the DLL registered). This is one of the reasons why getting code to execute on the server is preferable. In order to get hold of the library, go onto Micro$oft's site and do a search for MSXML from the Download Centre. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] AIX and Universe and Network Printers
Denny,
You will need to create an AIX print queue for this printer. When you
have done that be sure to test printing from AIX before attempting to
define the printer in Universe. The first step after the print queue is
working is to create a driver file for the printer that Universe will
use. I typically place these in the Universe spooler directory
(normally /usr/spool/uv) and use the same name I want to use in Universe
with a .drv at the end. So if I plan on calling this printer LP7 in
Universe then I'll use vi to edit the file /usr/spool/uv/lp7.drv and
make it look like this:
#! /bin/sh
cat - | lp -d{print queue}
Once you save this file, be sure to open permissions on it (chmod 777)
Then in Universe go to device maintenance and add it just as you would
for a normal printer except in the Pathname field you need to enter
/dev/null and in the Driver field enter the full quoted path to your
driver file (/usr/spool/uv/lp7.drv) Once you save and re-read the
spooler configuration file it should be ready to go.
Mark
