Your workstation must be running IRIX 5.2 or later with the Indigo Magic[tm] desktop to use release 1.2 of Impressario. To determine the IRIX system release, enter the command:
uname -a |
impr_base.sw.il_images requires part of the il_eoe system. See the Impressario Release Notes for a complete list of Impressario prerequisites.
See the Impressario Release Notes for current disk space requirements.
If you are installing Impressario for the first time, the subsystems marked "default" are those that are installed if you use the go command. To install a different set of subsystems, use the install, remove, keep, and step commands in inst to customize the list of subsystems to be installed, then select the go command.
To install Impressario, do the following:
Install the Impressario software on your system.
Connect the printer or scanner to the system.
Configure the Impressario software for use with the printer or scanner.
All of the subsystems for Impressario can be installed using IRIX on a running system. You do not need to use the miniroot. Refer to the IRIS Software Installation Guide for complete installation instructions.
If you have Impressario 1.0.1 and PhaserPrint for Impressario 1.0 installed, you must explicitly load the products impr_rip and impr_fonts on your Impressario server system. These products are not installed by default.
To physically connect your printer or scanner, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Impressario 1.2 includes support for the following printers:
| Note: All Apple LaserWriter printers must be connected to the system using a serial port. All Hewlett-Packard printers must be connected to the system using a parallel port. |
Impressario printer software is configured using the Printer Manager tool that comes with the IRIS System Manager. Printer Manager can be accessed from the Toolchest System menu. See the Personal System Administration Guide for details on installing printers.
| Note: All existing printers, including networked printers, must be deleted and reinstalled using the Printer Manager. |
Networked printers can no longer be accessed via multiple levels of indirection. When using the Printer Manager to add a networked printer, only the printers directly connected to the specified host machine are displayed.
Impressario is not compatible with TranScript[tm] printer model files, although you may continue to use enscript(1) to format text files to be submitted for printing. Impressario 1.2 includes a replacement for enscript(1) called imprint(1). We recommend you remove TranScript before installing Impressario by typing:
versions remove trans
The Apple LaserWriter drivers included with TranScript do not comply with the Impressario system and do not return status information about the printer. In addition, installing Impressario moves the TranScript model file psinterface to the directory /var/spool/lp/model/OBSOLETE, thereby removing it from use by the Printer Manager. LaserWriters using the TranScript drivers must be deleted with the Printer Manager and reinstalled using the appropriate Impressario driver.
