How to Define a Print Wheel or Font Cartridge

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

2. Define a print wheel or font cartridge that can be used with the printer.

   print-server# lpadmin -p printer-name -S hard-charset1[,hard-charset2...]

   -p printer-name	Name of the printer for which you are defining a print wheel or font cartridge.
   -s hard-charset	Hardware character set name of the print wheel or font cartridge.  You can specify multiple hardware character sets with this command. Use commas or spaces to separate character set names. If you use spaces, enclose the list of character set names in quotes.  Define names that are meaningful to users, and inform the users of the names.

   The print wheel or font cartridge definition is added in the print server's /etc/lp/printers/printer-name/configuration file.

3. Log in as superuser or lp on a system that is a print client of the print server.

4. Define the same print wheel or font cartridge for the print client.

   print-client# lpadmin -p printer-name -S hard-charset1[,hard-charset2...]

   In this command, the variables are the same as those in Step 2.

   The print wheel or font cartridge definition is added in the print client's /etc/lp/printers/printer-name/configuration file.

5. Repeat Step 3and Step 4 for each print client that may need to use the print wheel or font cartridge.

6. Verify the information following the Character sets heading in the following output is correct on both the print server and the print client.

   $ lpstat -p printer-name -l
