NAME
       datability - lp interface script to Datability Terminal Server
       printer

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/lp/model/datability

DESCRIPTION
       The datability interface script prints files to a printer connected
       to a Datability VCP 300/1000 terminal server.  If you are using a DG
       Model 40014A TermServer, see termprinter(1).  This script is invoked
       by the line printer scheduler (lpsched) with a list of files to
       print.  The script generates the printer initialization sequences,
       the banner page and filtered file output to a temporary file.  This
       file is then sent to the terminal server using the
       /usr/lib/lp/bin/lp.termprinter interface program.

       The datability script uses two environment variables to determine the
       destination address of the printer.  The DG_NETWORK_HOST variable
       contains the host name found in the hosts database (e.g.  /etc/hosts
       or YP) for the terminal server.  The DG_NETWORK_PORT variable
       identifies the port number or network services alias name.  These
       variables are setup by lpsched and passed to the lp.termprinter
       program by the datability script.

       To configure a printer on a terminal server, you should use the
       sysadm(1M) utility and select the "Remote networked printer device"
       connection type.  Sysadm will prompt you for the host name and port
       number.  You can also use the lpadmin(1M) command with the
       -Uhost%port option to assign the host name and port number.
