How to Unmount and Mount a Print Wheel or Font Cartridge

1. Log in as superuser or lp on the print server.

2. Unmount the print wheel or font cartridge that is in the printer by using the lpadmin command.

   # lpadmin -p printer-name -M -S none

   -p printer-name	Printer on which you are unmounting a print wheel or font cartridge.
   -M -S none	Specifies unmounting the current print wheel or font cartridge.

   The current print wheel or font cartridge is deleted from the print server's /etc/lp/printers/printer-name/configuration file.

3. Remove the print wheel or font cartridge from the printer.

4. Put the new print wheel or font cartridge in the printer.

5. Mount the new print wheel or font cartridge by using the lpadmin command.

   # lpadmin -p printer-name -M -S hard-charset

   -p printer-name	Printer on which you are mounting a print wheel or font cartridge.
   -M -S hard-charset	Hardware character set name of the print wheel or font cartridge you want to mount.

   The print wheel or font cartridge is added in the print server's /etc/lp/printers/printer-name/configuration file. The mounted print wheel or font cartridge remains active until it is unmounted or until a new print wheel or font cartridge is mounted.

6. Check the information under the Print wheels or Character set heading in the output of the following command. You should see the name of the print wheel or character set and the notation (mounted)

   $ lpstat -p printer-name -l
