How to Define a Print Wheel or Font Cartridge

1. Log in as superuser, lp, or assume an equivalent role 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, lp, or assume an equivalent role on 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 3 and Step 4 for each print client that might need to use the print wheel or font cartridge.

6. Verify that 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

Example—Defining a Print Wheel

The following example shows how to define the pica print wheel on the printer luna for a print client named asteroid.

asteroid# lpadmin -p luna -S pica
