Introduction
This manual describes how to install the user software for the TOSHIBA GA-1040
Network Printer Board, set up printing, and manage print jobs from a Unix client.
For information about setting up network servers and clients to use the GA-1040,
see Administrator’s Guide. For general information on using the copier, your
computer, your application software, or your network, see the manuals that
accompany those products.
The GA-1040 Printer Driver consists of a Unix filter (CORE) driver and the rcutil
configuration program:
•
•
The CORE driver translates print commands and drives printing on UNIX and
Linux platforms.
The rcutil configuration program provides a visual interface to the driver,
for graphical access to print properties specified in the PostScript Printer
Description (PPD) file.
It also comes with the install installation script that is used to install and un-install
print queues. The install installation script first checks the system for Motif support
before running the setup installation program.

To determine which version of Motif is installed in your Unix or Linux system, do the
following system checks.
Check if the following files exist:
•
•
•
/usr/include/Xm/ComboBox.h
/usr/include/Xm/Notebook.h
/usr/include/Xm/SpinB.h
If you have these files, you have Motif 2.1 installed in your system.
If not, check if the /usr/include/Xm sub-directory exists. If so, you have Motif 1.2
installed.
If Motif is not installed on HP-UX, SunOS/Solaris, or IBM AIX systems, the driver
may not be installed or run correctly. You would need to install Motif first before
being able to install the Unix driver. For more information, please refer to the install
Installation Script section.
Obtaining the Installation Package
The package is shipped as one compressed file: toshiba1.2.tar.Z or toshiba2.1.tar.Z
To uncompress the file, use uncompress <Zfile>
Then use tar to restore the files: tar –xvf <tarfile>

The driver and user interface files are placed in /usr/local/tsbprn folder, except
on Solaris systems. In most Solaris systems, the /usr/local directory is a mounted
NFS remote system and it is write-protected. Because of this, the drivers are
installed in /etc/lp/interfaces/tsbprn, by default.

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.
If the installation directory does not exist, or cannot be created, the setup
installation program will display error messages and terminate.

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.
Pre-Installation Procedures
Before running server or client install program, review the following points:
•
Log in as the superuser (root) of the system to ensure that all files are installed
to their correct location. Only root is allowed to perform installation procedures.
The installation program can be executed from the current folder, or from a local
copy of the installation folder. We recommend making a local copy of the
installation folder. It is important to run it where it is located. For one, it uses the
Setup resource file for defining its Motif-based user interface.
•
•
•
If a print queue would be re-installed, uninstall it first before re-installing to
ensure that the driver is updated correctly. The setup installation program
provides the capability to un-install print queues.
The rcutil interface was developed using Motif 1.2, Motif 2.1 and C
programming language. Except for Linux systems, it is required that the Motif 2.1
or Motif 1.2 libraries be installed on the system where the setup installation
program will be used and where rcutil will be installed. For safety, use the
install script utility for installing as it performs initialization checks before
launching the setup installation program.
•
To launch the setup installation program in GUI mode, the DISPLAY
environment variable must be set. The user must manually set this on the
command line. For example, type “DISPLAY = host:0.0” on the command line.
host is the name of the terminal where setup would be launched. It can also be
the IP address of the said terminal. After assigning value to DISPLAY, export the
environment variable by typing export DISPLAY on the command line. If setup
cannot still launch in GUI mode, you may need to add the terminal in the hosts
file, done by typing xhost host on the command line. Please coordinate with
your system administrator on how to configure your system for running programs
with GUI.
•
•
If DISPLAY is not set, the setup installation program will run in Text mode. The
installation program detects the system capability for graphics and can run in
either Text or GUI mode.
Man pages must be updated to customize it to your need. Currently the man-
pages contains a place-holder for the contact info for troubleshooting. You can
update this with a correct contact info. NOTE: Do not modify application names
such as “EFTPS35” as the installation program automatically parses it.
Update text files that are used by the driver as Help files for further
customization. These files are the Setup.txt and F533Readme.txt
•
install Installation Script
The install script is the installation utility and is the secure way for installing or
un-installing the Unix driver. It performs initial system checks before actually
launching the setup installation program. Its major role is to check if Motif library is
installed in the target system. This is provided for convenience to avoid unexpected
User’s Guide
6
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver
system errors when launching the setup installation program directly on systems
without Motif support.
The install installation script will show an error message if it cannot find the Motif
library in the system, except for Linux, where the driver is built to run even on
systems without Motif support. If you are sure that you have Motif installed in the
system, you can use the setup installation program directly.
The install installation script assumes pre-defined libraries for determining
whether the systems supports Motif or not.
The script checks if the libraries below exist in their specified locations:
Platform
Library location
/usr/lib/libXm.2
/usr/lib/libXm.so.4
/usr/lib/libXm.so.4
/usr/lib/libXm.a
None
HP-UX
Sun Solaris (SPARC)
Sun Solaris (Intel)
IBM AIX
Red Hat Linux
If not, the script will show an appropriate message.
If you think Motif is installed in the system, you can also try running setup
installation program directly on the command line: ./setup
•
•
If it fails (crashes), please take note of any error message you get from the
system and send it to us. This would help us update the install script to reflect
whatever library or file the setup installation program may require to run
successfully in your system.
BUT if setup runs and shows the user interface, that could mean that it has
found the Motif library somewhere in your system, meaning, you have a
different location than /usr/lib for the Motif library. In this case, you can
modify the install script to reflect this library path. You can contact us if
you like us to do this update for you – just inform us the correct library path
for your target system.
Syntax
./install [-uh] [[q:]<queue>] [s:<server>] [p:<portvalue>]
[t:<insttype>] [g:<guitype>] [cdepth:<dval>]
To run setup directly, use “setup” in the same syntax, as:
./setup [-uh] [[q:]<queue>] [s:<server>] [p:<portvalue>] [t:<insttype>]
[g:<guitype>] [cdepth:<dval>]
If no parameter is specified, this launches the setup installation program in
graphical install mode.
Parameters that are enclosed in square brackets are optional.
User’s Guide

TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver
-h
Prints the usage guide. If no other parameter is specified, the
program will terminate. Otherwise, it will launch the
installation program either in graphical or text mode,
depending on value of the “g” parameter.
-u
Uninstalls the specified <queue>
[q:]<queue>
The name of the local print queue to be set up or uninstalled. q:
is optional. Any parameter without the tag is assumed to be
a print queue name. Only the last <queue>, if there’s more
than one specified in the parameter, will be used.
The destination network printer server.
s:<server>
p:<portvalue>
The printer port in <server>. <portvalue> is the name of the
printer port. This is print by default.
t:<insttype>
Identifies the type of action on the print queue(s).
In Install mode, this implies installing of a server or client print
queue. <insttype> can be either server (default) or client.
In Un-install mode, if <insttype> is all, this un-installs all print
queues. All other values would un-install <queue>, if it is
specified. This is not all (not set and not used) by default.
Tells whether to run in Graphical-mode or Text-mode. <guitype>
can be either yes (GUI, default) or no (Text).
g:<guitype>
cdepth:<dval> <dval> is for depth value. Specifies the color depth to use to be
able to formulate the background color when running in GUI
mode. <dval> can be no or any numeric value. Non-digit
values are treated as no. no tells the program to use
system default colors for displaying the user interface.
This cdepth parameter is relevant ONLY if the Background color
setting is removed or commented out in the Setup resource
file. This is unused if Background color setting is in the
resource file.
The parameters can be specified in any order. In text mode, if a <queue> or
<server> is not specified in the command line parameter, the program will prompt
for it.
Example Usage:
./install q:pshakuba s:hakuba p:direct
where pshakuba is the desired print queue name, hakuba is the
network target printer, and direct is the Fiery direct port in the
hakuba printer. This opens the setup installation program in server
install type and GUI mode.
./install pshakuba
will open the setup installation program in server install type and
print Fiery port. This opens in GUI mode. The Network Printer field
will be empty waiting for user to specify a target printer.
./install pshakuba s:hakuba g:no
will run the setup installation program in Text mode. The pshakuba is
the desired print queue name. hakuba is the network target printer. It
will ask if the default print Fiery port will be used. And if not, it will
prompt for a new value.

./install –u t:all g:no
runs the setup installation program in un-install and text mode to un-
install all print queues.
./install pshakuba s:hakuba p:direct cdepth:8
Runs in GUI mode and initialize the print queue, destination printer
and port fields in the user interface. If Background color setting is
removed from the Setup resource file, this will use the 8-bit color
depth parameter to choose the background color for the user interface.
Notes on X_QueryColors
In some systems with limited color support, an X_QueryColors runtime error may
occur. A message may be something like:
X error of failed request: BadValue(integer parameter out of range for operation
Major opcode of failed request: 91(X_QueryColors)
Value in failed request: 0x806a92
Serial number of failed request:141
Current Serial number in output stream:141
The value of failed request and serial numbers may differ. This is a known problem in
Solaris 8 for Intel platform and will be fixed in a future update. If this occurs,
perform the installation by running the installation program in Text mode.

Setup resource file
The Setup resource file contains the settings that define the setup installation
program Motif-based user interface. This file is needed to be in the same location as
the setup installation program itself. Putting it in a separate location could cause
unexpected errors when running the installation program.
The Background color is set through this resource file. If the Background setting is
removed from or not set in the resource file, the installation program is also capable
of detecting which background color to use in two ways. First, it uses the utility
xdpyinfo to detect the supported color depths in the system and adjusts the
background color accordingly. Second, The “cdepth:#” parameter may also be
specified in the command line. # is any numeric number used to detect the
supported color depth in the system. Some possible values are 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16,
24 and 32.

o This is for HP-UX client type installation only: This specifies whether to use
or not use the lpadmin option –ob3 when creating the client print queue in
the HP-UX system. We have observed that sometimes, -ob3 is required to
enable printing in a newly installed print queue. You may want to try the On
or Off case to check which setting enables printing, If you still can’t print,
please inform us.
o Please refer to the manpage of lpadmin for the use of –ob3 option.
Driver Path
o For HPUX, Solaris, and AIX, a model script or backend script is installed on
the system on the directory specified by the Driver Path. This location may
be different from the default location for the driver files, which is
/usr/local/tsbprn, or /etc/lp/interfaces/tsbprn in Solaris. If the
User’s Guide
12
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver
system requires the scripts to be in a different location, specify the new
location in this field.
•
Middle script/Client script
o This is for Linux installations only: This is the name to give the actual script
installed on the system. By default, this is shfilter-ps.tos for server install
type, and is shfilter.clnt for client install type.
o For server installation type, the label is Middle script.
o For client installation type, the label changes to Client script.
CORE Manpage Path
o This specifies the system directory where the CORE filter manpage will be
installed. This is disabled if the Install Manpage field is not checked in the
General tab.
•
•
•
UI Manpage Path
o This specifies the system directory where the rcutil manpage will be
installed. This is disabled if the Install Manpage field is not checked in the
General tab.
UI Link Path
o The setup program also installs a symbolic link to the rcutil configuration
program in the location specified in the UI Link Path field. This is /opt by
default.
•
•
Temporary files path
o The setup installation program creates temporary files during installation. If
/tmp is unavailable in the system, this field specifies an alternative location
where temporary files can be created. This is /tmp by default. If you like the
installation program to install the symbolic link in a different path, say /bin or
/usr/bin, you can specify this new value in the Temporary files path field.
Pass Thru (reserved)
o This is only for AIX systems without support for the rembak system utility:
•
If the bullet is selected, the user can type in a name on the text field. It
will be used as the pass thru name.
•
If the bullet is not selected, the setup installation program will generate
(detect) a pass thru name.
NOTE:
•
•
The pass-thru queues are required for sending filtered jobs from the print
queue to the Fiery ports (print, direct, or hold).
This is only included as a fallback solution in AIX systems, which currently
does not provide easy access to Fiery ports. If the current solution of
using the rembak utility fails, pass-thru queues will be created.

The program will also prompt for other settings such as manpage path, middle script
name, temporary files location, or UI Link path. Follow screen prompts to specify
non-default settings.
Whenever a yes/no type question is asked, the upper-case letter identifies the
default response. For example, y/N, N is the default. You can just press the Return
(or Enter) key to use the default setting.
After all information is specified, the program begins the install process. Status and
error messages are shown to guide user through the install process.
Uninstallation mode
Usage: ./install –u [q:<queue>] [t:<insttype>] g:no
The g:no parameter launches the program in Text mode.
If only –u is specified it will list down all installed print queues related to the driver,
and let you choose which print queue to un-install.
If <queue> is specified, it will un-install the <queue> if it is installed in the system.
If not, it will list down all installed print queues related to this driver.
If t:all is specified, it will un-install all related print queues, even if <queue> is
specified.
If <queue> is not specified in the parameters, the program will list down installed
print queues and will ask which print queue will be un-installed.
Post Installation Procedures
The setup installation program assumes lpsched is running when the program is
invoked. It will disable the lp scheduler during the installation process. Restart the
scheduler manually after installation, if necessary.
In GUI installation mode, a successfully set up print queue is added and selected in
the setup Printer List field. In text installation mode, you can use lpstat –v (–W
for AIX systems) to verify if the print queue has been successfully installed in the
system. lpstat lists down the print queues available in the system.
Platform Specific Checks
Linux: Shell
For Linux systems, it is assumed that the Korn shell exists in /bin. If Korn (ksh)
does not exist in /bin, the /usr/local/tsbprn/shfilter-ps.tos file must be
modified to reflect the supported shell in the system. If, for example, Borne Again
(bash) shell is available, edit the first line in shfilter-ps.tos file, replacing #!/bin/ksh
with #!/bin/bash.
SunOS: windex
For SunOS, installing the manpages may require an extra step: updating of the
windex file. This file is an index of all manpages in a given main directory for
manpages. Only those manpages with entries in the windex file will be available and
User’s Guide
15
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver
shown when the man command is used. If a manpage has no entry in the windex
file, the said manpage may not be displayed using the man command. If windex
exists in the main manpage directory, an entry for the manpage must be added into
it. If it does not exist in the main manpage directory, all manpages within the
subdirectories will be available to the man command.
If the windex file exists, the setup installation program updates it automatically
each time the manpages are installed. The installation program makes a backup copy
of the windex by renaming the file as windex.orig, done before updating the
windex file. It is recommended that you save a copy of the windex file somewhere
else so that it will not be lost as the setup installation program may update the
windex file several times depending on how many print queues and manpages are
being installed.
The setup installation program does not create a windex file if it is originally not
found in the main manpage directory.

Using rcutil
Running rcutil
To launch the GUI setup program, run /opt/rcutil on the command line.
$ /opt/rcutil <Return>
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.
The /opt/rcutil is a symbolic link to the actual file installed in the driver
files path:
UNIX/LINUX System Driver Files Location
HPUX
/usr/local/tsbprn
/etc/lp/interfaces/tsbprn
/usr/local/tsbprn
/usr/local/tsbprn
/usr/local/tsbprn
Solaris (SPARC)
Solaris (Intel)
AIX
Red Hat Linux
If your /opt subdirectory does not have the rcutil tool, you can still run it
from the above locations. The /opt is the default location for the symbolic link
where the rcutil program can be launched. During installation, this location
can be specified to be a different location. Please note the UI Link path in
the setup installation program Printer List.
The program displays the Setup tab at start-up. rcutil initially displays the default
settings read from the PPD configuration file. The program then updates the GUI
with the user defaults saved in the settings file (.f533rc in user’s home directory), if
it exists.
Note: The Motif libraries (libXm) may need to be installed in the system. rcutil
requires Motif to be installed on the system for optimal operation.
Settings file
The .f533rc settings file contains keywords and settings that were saved through
the rcutil configuration program. This file can also be created directly using a text
editor. This file must be saved in the user’s home directory.
The entries in the file is in the format: keyword = option, where keyword is the
feature to be enabled or disabled, and the option is one of the choices configurable
for that feature. The valid choices are either those defined in the configuration file or
the standard options, which are features that are not defined in the configuration file
but are supported in the driver. An example follows:
User’s Guide
27
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.
In this version of the driver, the settings file is unique in the user’s home directory,
named as .f533rc. The user may have installed the driver in different Unix or Linux
systems, yet the user’s home directory is the same. Therefore, all settings saved in
one system will still be available in another system. In order to avoid confusion, the
settings file may be deleted or its content deleted to allow the driver to reset to the
default settings from the PPD configuration file.
The rcutil provides the capability to save settings to the settings file. It can be
used to create the settings file. To do the actual printing, use the lp command to
send the print documents to the printer.
During printing, the settings file is parsed and the values passed to the CORE UNIX
filter to apply the features in the print out. The settings saved in the settings file will
affect the actual print job.
Further, options can also be passed to the CORE UNIX filter through the lp
command. Command line options takes precedence over the settings saved in the
settings file.
The rcutil configuration program only saves the changed (or non-default) settings.
Only the settings that differ from the PPD default settings are saved to the settings
file. The PPD default settings are not saved. The CORE UNIX filter knows the default
settings when it loads as it reads in the default settings from the PPD file. The CORE
UNIX filter only needs to know the new (non-default) settings to apply to the print
job. The settings file serves as a record of the settings that the user wants preserved
for the next print job.
User Home Directory Access Restrictions
During printing, the lpd printing system through the lp system account must be
able to access the .f533rc settings file. Being that the settings file is maintained in
the user’s home directory, the user’s home directory itself must be accessible to lp.
Otherwise, the Unix filter will fail to retrieve the saved settings and so no features
will be applied on to the print job.
The user’s home directory must have an “executable” attribute for users of type
others. That is, the last attribute of the directory must show an x. It must be
something like dabcabcabx where a can be a - or r for readable, b can be - or w for
writable and c can be a - or x for executable. The last attribute is the c but is
User’s Guide
28
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”.
User’s Guide

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. To find out about what options can be combined with other options, you
must check the PPD configuration file. A message will be shown when you select an
option that violates a constraint:
Figure 21 Constraint violation error
Saving settings
The Save settings button saves the changed (non-default) settings to the settings
file. The program checks if the selected options are non-default (compared to values
from configuration file). If so, they are saved. If all settings are default settings, the
file will be empty and no settings will be saved.

Printing
To send a job from the command-line, you can type the following on the command
line:
lp –d <print_queue> -o option1 –o option2 … -o optionn <file_to_print>
or
lp –d <print_queue> -o “option1 option2 … optionn” <file_to_print>
Note: The second form of the command may not work on some systems. If this
happens, use the first form.

The option can be in the non-native or native format. Native format means
keyword:option while non-native means keywordoption. Some options can be
specified as just option, for example, A4 or duplex.

Pass the options through the lp command:
o
lp –d printqueue –o keyword1:option –o keyword2:option
filename.prn
keyword:option is any pairing of a feature and one of its
corresponding options. Example: Punch:Left or PageSize:A4
NOTE:
•
The actual output using this method may be affected by any settings saved in
the settings file (.f533rc).
Printing from Unix applications
Printing is possible directly from Unix/Linux applications. This section discusses
printing from Netscape Navigator and Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Once the printer driver has been installed, print jobs can be sent to the print queue
directly from Unix applications, or from command line. If the application being used
has a print dialog, specify the lp command in the Print Command field and use the
print queue to send the job to.
If the application has the capability to print to file, print the document to file and
send the output file through lp command to the print queue.
These are better illustrated in the next sub-sections.
