I want to set up a wyse60 terminal on a FreeBSD box to do local printing (ie. via the aux port on the terminal)....
I am currently using this as an interface file:
------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# setup string
termport="/dev/ttyd1" # port for your terminal
penable="\017\033d#" # codes to enable printer for Wyse 60
pdisable="\024\016" # codes to disable printer for Wyse 60
lpnull="/dev/null" # dummy regular file or dedicated device file
sttystr="9600 ixon -ixany ixoff opost onlcr" # modify for your printer if necessary
# redirect std in, std out to termport std err to lpnull
exec <$termport >$termport 2>$lpnull
# If it is necessary to change the baud rate or other stty settings for
# your serial printer modify the sttystr above.
sttysave=`stty -g`
stty $sttystr
# escape sequence for the terminal to lock the keyboard and turn on transparent
# print mode. You must first lock the keyboard then turn on transparent print
printf "$penable"
printf "\014" && cat && printf "\014"
# escape sequence for the terminal to turn off transparent print mode and
# unlock the terminal. First turn off transparent print then unlock keyboard.
echo "$pdisable"
# reset stty settings
stty $sttysave
exit 0
-----------------------------------------------
with a /etc/printcap entry of:
---------------------------------
local:\
:sh:if=/usr/local/libexec/lprint.sh:\
:lp=/dev/ttyd1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/local:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
---------------------------------
however, it doesn't seem to work... The jobs queue OK, but don't go through to the terminal/printer......
Any ideas????
Cheers,
Dale
