     mkserialpr	- install a serial interface System V printer

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     mkserialpr

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     mkserialpr	installs a printer with	a serial interface for use with	the
     System V printer spooling system.

     mkserialpr	is an interactive installation program that will display
     available options and prompt for the relevant installation	parameters.
     You must be root to execute mkserialpr.

     The program first asks for	the name you wish to give the printer. This
     name must be no more than fourteen	characters. See	lpadmin(1M) for	more
     information on naming printers. After entering a name for the printer,
     the program asks for the port number of the serial	port to	which the
     printer is	connected. You are then	asked to whether communication with
     the printer will be done with software or hardware	handshaking and	at
     what baud rate the	communication will take	place.

     Once a name and the communications	parameters have	been selected for the
     printer, a	list of	printer	types is displayed. Enter the number of	the
     printer type you wish to install.

     The printer will be installed and the current printing environment	will
     be	displayed (i.e.	lpstat -t).
