Installation

Scroll Prev Top Next More

The steps in a normal AshLPD installation are:

Run the installation program, typically called ashlpd-a.a.aaa-bbb.exe, where a.a.aaa is the A-Shell/Windows version and bbb is the edit level of ASHLPD.LIT. By default, it installs beneath \Program Files\MicroSabio\AshLPD, although you can put it anywhere.
Copy the ASHLPR.SBX to the BAS: directory on the application server (e.g. UNIX machine).
Copy the ASHLPR.INI to the OPR: directory on the application server.
Create one or more printer init files on the application server which invoke the ASHLPR client hook (COMMAND=SBX:ASHLPR)
Create printer initialization files on the print server (e.g. PC) which match the names of the printer init files on the application server (e.g. UNIX machine.)
