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; +----------------------------- Maintain Devices -----------------------------+ | File Action Help | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---+ | | | Printer Name : FUJI Baud Rate : 9600 | | Pathname ? /dev/null Parity : None | | Driver : /usr/spool/uv/fuji.drv CR Mode : None | | Form : FUJI Tab Expansion : ON | | Flow control : XOFF STARTANY OFF FF Delay : No formfeed | | Enable Printing : Y LF Delay : None | | Enable Queuing : Y Word Length : 8 | | Lock file 1 : | | Lock file 2 : | | Other Options : | | | | | +------------------------------- Help Region --------------------------------+ |Enter the Pathname of the device to print to. | | | | | | | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---+ 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.

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..."
