Printer Init Files - Print Server

Scroll Prev Top Next More

There must be a printer initializatioin file on the print server (e.g. Windows PC) side to match every printer init file on the application server that references COMMAND=SBX:ASHLPR. For example, if you create a spool queue named JINX on the application server that you want to connect to a PC printer via AshLPD, you would have an ASHCFG:JINX.PQI file on the application server side and also one on the PC side, e.g.:

Application Server (e.g. UNIX) – ASHCFG: JINX.PQI:

COMMAND=SBX:ASHLPR

 

Print Server (e.g. Windows PC) – ASHCFG: JINX.PQI:

DEVICE= Jinx-Jet Supreme | \\wserver\jinx

PASSTHROUGH=OFF

 

The example above is a fairly minimal A-Shell/Windows printer init file. Consult the for more details. The "Printer Defs" button within the AshLPD main window will help you get set up the printer init file(s) on the AshLPD server.
