At the end the reply is a sample entry for an LN03R. I'll
point out some things of particular interest. In general
you can get the basic setup done for a support printer using
lprsetup.
First thing of interest; lp=. Choose what tty special device
you want to use. Make sure it's turned off in /etc/ttys. You
also need to enable host initiated connects on it. When you
start the LAT (probably in /etc/rc.local) use the -h option
to enable that tty:
/etc/lcp -s -h /dev/tty12 [ other-options ]
If the terminal server is restricting access by group code then
the host needs to oblige (-g group-code).
Next thing of interest is :os=:op=:ts=:. Locally we only have
to use op= to specify the port and ts= the terminal server. You
may have to provide a value for os= or force it to a null string.
You could specify the port and terminal with the -h command, but
I find it easier to split them up.
The ct= should be "lat". Most everything else is dependent on
the printer.
