Administering SCO Gateway for NetWare

Customizing the SCO Gateway for NetWare printer interface script

The NetWare printer interface script is a customizable shell script that processes users' print options and transfers print jobs to the NetWare server.

It is not necessary to customize the NetWare printer interface script. It is automatically installed and configured when the system administrator adds a new remote NetWare printer.

See ``Adding a SCO Gateway for NetWare printer''.

The system administrator may customize the NetWare printer interface script to add or change printer options. There are two files that can be customized:


/usr/spool/lp/netware/model/netware
This file contains the generic NetWare interface script. Any changes made to this file will be reflected in all new printers.

/usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/printer
The NetWare interface script is modified to include the local printer interface script and copied to this file, where printer is the UNIX system printer name. Any changes made to one of these files will affect only that printer.
Make sure that you make copies of all files before editing them.
