This chapter provides a step-by-step description of the installation
procedure.
Before you start the installation procedure, be sure to read Chapter
1.
2.1 Starting the Installation Procedure
If you are installing the Advanced Printing Software from CD-ROM, start with Section 2.1.1.
If you are installing the New Hardware Support software from a RIS server,
start with
Section 2.1.2.
2.1.1 Using the Associated Products CD-ROM
If you are installing the software from the Associated Products CD-ROM Volume 2, start the installation procedure as follows:
Mount the media on the appropriate disc drive. See the documentation that came with your media for instructions on mounting CD-ROM media.
Log in as the root user on the system where you plan to install the software.
Enter the following command to ensure that you are at the root (/) directory:
# cd /
Specify the
/mnt
directory to be the mount
point for the distribution file system:
# mount -r -t cdfs /dev/rz1c /mnt (Version 5.0x) # mount -r /dev/disk/cdrom0c /mnt (Version 5.0x)
Enter the
setld
command with the
-l
(load) option and specify the directory in the mounted file
system where the subsets are located.
For a Tru64 UNIX system, the directory
location for Advanced Printing Software subsets is
/mnt/Advanced_Printing/kit
.
For example, enter:
# setld -l /mnt/Advanced_Printing/kit
See
Section 2.2
and
Section 2.3
to continue the installation.
2.1.2 Using Remote Installation Services (RIS)
If you are installing Advanced Printing Software from a RIS server, start the installation procedure as follows:
Log in as the root user on the system where you plan to install the software.
Enter the following command to ensure that you are at the root (/) directory:
# cd /
Enter the
setld
command with the
-l
(load) function and specify the system where the subsets are
located.
For example, if you are loading Advanced Printing Software subsets
from a RIS distribution area on node
bigsys
, enter the
following command:
# setld -l bigsys:
See
Section 2.2
and
Section 2.3
to continue the installation.
2.2 Installing Advanced Printing Software Server Software
The Advanced Printing Software server software consists of the following subsets:
APXBASE120 - command-line interface only. This subset is a required subset; the software will not function if it is not installed.
APXADMIN120 - command-line interface system administration utilities and components for creating and displaying object databases. This subset is installed if you want to use the command-line interface to manage the Advanced Printing Software environment.
APXGUI120 -
pdprint
,
pdprintadmin
, and
pdprintinfo
utilities that allow you to
print and perform management functions using a graphical user interface
APXSVR120 - spooler and supervisor programs that need to be installed on the server systems.
APXGW120 - inbound and outbound gateways that allow
users of legacy print applications (lp
and
lpr
systems) to submit print requests to Advanced Printing Software
output devices.
For server systems, the minimum system installation requires only the APXBASE120, APXSVR120, and APXADMIN120 subsets. The GUI subset is optional. The following example demonstrates how to install all of the server subsets.
After you enter the
setld
command, the installation
procedure displays the names of the Advanced Printing Software subsets and
directs you to select the subsets you want installed:
# setld -l /mnt/Advanced_Printing/kit The subsets listed below are optional: There may be more optional subsets than can be presented on a single screen. If this is the case, you can choose subsets screen by screen or all at once on the last screen. All of the choices you make will be collected for your confirmation before any subsets are installed. 1) Advanced Printing Software Administrator Utilities 2) Advanced Printing Software BASE and Client Commands 3) Advanced Printing Software Graphical User Interface 4) Advanced Printing Software Spooler and Supervisor 5) Advanced Printing Software lpr/lpd Gateways Or you may choose one of the following options: 6) ALL of the above 7) CANCEL selections and redisplay menus 8) EXIT without installing any subsets Enter your choices or press RETURN to redisplay menus. Choices (for example, 1 2 4-6): 6
If you specify more than one number at the prompt, separate each number with a space. You can specify a range of numbers by entering the starting and ending numbers with a hyphen between them.
In the next step, the
setld
script asks you to verify
your choice of subsets to install:
You are installing the following optional subsets: Advanced Printing Software Administrator Utilities Advanced Printing Software BASE and Client Commands Advanced Printing Software Graphical User Interface Advanced Printing Software Spooler and Supervisor Advanced Printing Software lpr/lpd Gateways Is this correct? (y/n): y
If the displayed subsets are not the ones you want to load, enter
n
; the subset selection menu will be redisplayed.
When the displayed
subsets are the ones you want loaded, enter
y
.
There is
no further user interaction required to complete this installation procedure.
Appendix A provides a sample listing of the full installation procedure.
The
Advanced Printing Software System Administration and Operation Guide
describes how to configure servers, printers,
and gateways.
2.3 Installing Advanced Printing Software Client Software
The Advanced Printing Software client software allows end users to print and monitor jobs. It consists of the following subsets:
APXBASE120 command-line interface utilities.
APXGUI120
pdprint
,
pdprintadmin
, and
pdprintinfo
utilities that allow users
to print jobs and monitor print jobs and devices.
For client systems, the minimum system installation requires only the APXBASE120 subset. The APXGUI120 subset is optional. The following installation demonstrates how to install both of these client subsets.
After you enter the
setld
command, the installation
procedure displays the names of the Advanced Printing Software subsets and
directs you to select the subsets you want installed:
# setld -l /mnt/Advanced_Printing/kitThe subsets listed below are optional: There may be more optional subsets than can be presented on a single screen. If this is the case, you can choose subsets screen by screen or all at once on the last screen. All of the choices you make will be collected for your confirmation before any subsets are installed. 1) Advanced Printing Software Administrator Utilities 2) Advanced Printing Software BASE and Client Commands 3) Advanced Printing Software Graphical User Interface 4) Advanced Printing Software Spooler and Supervisor 5) Advanced Printing Software lpr/lpd Gateways Or you may choose one of the following options: 6) ALL of the above 7) CANCEL selections and redisplay menus 8) EXIT without installing any subsets Enter your choices or press RETURN to redisplay menus. Choices (for example, 1 2 4-6): 2 3
If you specify more than one number at the prompt, separate each number with a space.
In the next step, the
setld
script asks you to verify
your choice of subsets to install:
You are installing the following optional subsets Advanced Printing Software BASE and Client Commands Advanced Printing Software Graphical User Interface Is this correct? (y/n): y
If the displayed subsets are not the ones you want to load, enter
n
; the subset selection menu will be redisplayed.
When the displayed
subsets are the ones you want loaded, enter
y
.
There is
no further user interaction required to complete this installation procedure.
Appendix A
provides a sample listing of the full installation
procedure.
2.4 Installing Advanced Printing Software in a Dataless Environment
For the Advanced Printing System GUI clients to function properly in a dataless environment, the system administrator must issue the following command on each dataless client system for which the GUI clients are installed:
# dtappintegrate -s /usr/pd
If any Advanced Printing Software servers (supervisors or spoolers) are run on the client system, the administrator must also issue the following command:
# /sbin/init.d/apx start
2.5 Removing Advanced Printing Software Subsets in a Dataless Environment
It is important that the following steps be performed on the dataless client system prior to removing the Advanced Printing Software subsets from the dataless server system:
Unintegrate the Advanced Printing Software GUIs from CDE using the following command:
# dtappintegrate -s /usr/pd -u
Ensure that Advanced Printing Software servers are stopped using the following command:
# /sbin/init.d/apx stop
