Marc,
I hope this comes out formatted so that you can read it. If not, I will try
again for you. Email me direct and I will send it as an attachment.
Here's what I do;
First set up a printer in Linux - network, serial, whatever kind you want -
it doesnt matter. In your case, I guess it is going to be network printer.
In the directory that you are using for Universe spool files; create a
'driver' for the printer that you want to set up
For Example, one of our printers is fuji and our files are located in
/usr/spool/uv.
cd //usr/spool/uv
cat fuji.drv
cat -| lp -dfuji -o nofilebreak -s
make sure that the file permissions are correct. I set mine to '777'.
Next, get in to Universe and LOGTO UV - home Universe account. You should
get a SYSADM.MENU
To get to the add printer do; option 4 - Spooler,5 - Device Management, 2 -
Maintain Devices
here is a screen snapshot of our FUJI printer;

Say 'yes' to changes and 'Yes' to reread spooler configuration.
You will now have your printer set up.
To test,
SETPTR ,,61,0,0,,BRIEF,EJECT,NFMT,FORM FUJI
SH -c '/usr/ibm/uv/bin/usa -p FUJI -F FUJI
LIST DICT whatever_file LPTR
You should see this printing in Linux
For a shortcut, we have a voc record called MOUNT. So, we can issue a
command;
MOUNT FUJI FUJI or
MOUNT FUJI 4PART etc...
That voc is;
: P
0001: PA}02/05/97}tags}Mount a form on a printer
0002: DISPLAY MOUNTING C3,FORM ON C2,PRINTER
0003: SH -c '/usr/ibm/uv/bin/usa -p C2,PRINTER -F C3,FORM'
0004: UPDATE.VOC.REC C1,
Bottom at line 4.
: Q
Hope this helps. Hope this makes sense to you. Be advised that this is
only one way to
set up a printer. You will probably get more than one approach here.

Subject: [U2] Setting a Network Printer in Linux
I have tried reading the manual. How can I set up access to a network
printer under UV 10 with Linux Redhat 9.0. From the Linux shell I can
successfully print, but from UV all I get is the following message every
minute or so...
Unable to open device. Verify that the printer is on line...
Thanks in advance,
Marc
