M202/M212 v5.6.3 Release Notes (Con’t)

“ezsetup”, Microplex’s two conﬁguration software programs written for

several ﬂavours of Unix. “npconﬁg” was for more detailed conﬁgurations

and “ezsetup” was the program to run if you needed a simple, quick con-

ﬁguration of the print server or a print setup on your host.

With the version 5.7 release of the Unix host software, “ezsetup” is now

the only Unix installation program provided. Therefore, to conﬁgure a

print server with TCP/IP settings (i.e. IP address, subnet mask) and to

conﬁgure a print setup on your Unix host, you just need to run “ezsetup”

from your Unix command line once you’ve logged on as root or supe-

ruser. The syntax is:

./ezsetup

If you have HP/UX, you must run “ezsetup” like this to ensure the proper

menus appear:

ksh ./ezsetup

You will be prompted about your type of Unix system and then a Main

Menu will appear providing these choices:

1 Configure New Unit

2 Configure Host Setup

If you’d like to conﬁgure the Microplex print server with an IP address

and subnet mask, select “1”. If you can already communicate with the

print server over TCP/IP, then you can select “2” to create a print setup on

this Unix host which can send print jobs to the print server. Simply follow

the prompts until “ezsetup” tells you it has completed its steps.

The key advantages to this new “ezsetup” besides its ease of use are:

• It will work with all Microplex print server models including the M200/

M201, M202/M212, M204, M205/M206, and M208. You do not need

different versions of the software for each model.

• It will work with all ﬁrmware versions going back as early as version

4.0. You do not need to worry about ﬁrmware compatibility issues any

longer.

• If doing a print setup on a System V Unix host, a very simplistic

Microplex interface script, “rawsysv.if”, will now be used eliminating

the need for any extra host binaries or compilation. This also holds true

if you have a BSD-type Unix system but you want to use an interface

script within the printcap ﬁle rather than the standard LPD (or “remote

printer”) print method.

As for the rest of the Unix host software (i.e. the ﬁles contained within the

“npdist” directory), the only difference from earlier software versions is

the interface scripts provided. If interface scripts are needed for a Unix

print setup, the concentration is now on short, simplistic scripts which do

not require any additional host binaries or compilation. The scripts simply

capture the spooled data, send it to standard out, and then redirect this

data over the network to the print server. Any extra processing like car-

riage return insertion can then be done on the print server.

All other binaries and source code are the same as before.
