TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver Pre-installation System Requirements English versions of the following operating systems are supported for use with the GA-1040 Printer Driver: • • • • • Sun Solaris 2.4 or later (SPARCstation) Sun Solaris 8 (Intel) HP-UX 10.0 or later IBM AIX 4.0 or later Red Hat Linux 6.0 or later The following system programs are needed for successful installation.
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver Motif 1.2 System Requirement Details HP-UX Motif 1.2 libraries: libXm Needed to be installed in target system. Solaris Motif 1.2 libraries: libXm Needed to be installed in target system. AIX Motif 1.2 libraries: libXm Needed to be installed in target system. Linux None No library is needed. Motif 2.1 libraries are linked statically. To determine which version of Motif is installed in your Unix or Linux system, do the following system checks.
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver The driver cannot be installed on systems that have write-protection turned on for the /usr/local folder. The driver installation destination directory is fixed for each platform to the location specified in the table above. This is currently not configurable as there is no concept of registry in Unix systems where settings can be saved at installation time and that could be retrieved later by the driver at run-time.
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver Linux Additional Files Description shfilter.scr Middle script filter for Linux server installations used to parse parameters received from lp and passed to the CORE filter. The Linux installer assumes that the Korn shell exists in /bin. If Korn (ksh) does not exist in /bin, the /usr/local/tsbprn-ps/shfilter-ps.tos file must be modified to the existing shell in /bin. If Borne Again (bash) shell is available, edit the first line in shfilter-ps.
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver setup Installation Program Depending on your network environment, distribution of clients, and planned print configuration, you may run only server installations of the Unix driver, or both client and server installations.

TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver Localization The buttons and settings fields in the user interface can be renamed by editing the Rcutil resource file. This file is found in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults, except in Solaris where it is found in /usr/openwin/lib/X11/app-defaults.
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver Using rcutil Running rcutil To launch the GUI setup program, run /opt/rcutil on the command line. $ /opt/rcutil Note: • The rcutil configuration program uses the same PPD configuration file as the CORE UNIX filter. It parses the PPD configuration file to display the settings in the GUI. If it cannot find the PPD configuration file, it will abort and the GUI will not display. Please coordinate with your System Administrator if you have this situation.
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver # System-Default Profile for rcutil # #-Number of characters per line is expected to be less than 256. #-variables have to be in uppercase, values to be lowercase. # PageSize = Ledger Destination = Inner Orientation = Reverse Portrait Duplex = Long Finishing = StapleUL Punch = Left If this file exists in the user’s home directory, it is parsed and the values are reflected in the rcutil GUI controls or widgets.
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver required to be turned on. This would allow the lp system account to have access to the settings file stored in the user’s home directory. If you’re having a problem printing in your system, check if the user’s home directory satisfies the condition described above. Use ls –l /home if the user’s home directory has executable access. If not, you can turn it on using “chmod o+x /home/userdirectory”.
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver Constraints As settings are changed, the program checks if the selection violates some constraints specified in the PPD configuration file. The constraints are rules that tell when an option is valid when combined with other options. For example, Punch holes cannot be done if there is no puncher. An A3 paper size may not be allowed to come from Tray 3. Duplex may not be allowed on Transparency paper. These are only examples.
