Description

Installs an Secure Global Desktop printer queue on a UNIX or Linux application server. It also installs the Secure Global Desktop replacement lp or lpr scripts.

Location: /opt/tarantella/bin/scripts

You must be superuser (root) to run this script.

Option	Description
`--appprinter printer_name`	Use this option to specify a name for the printer queue on a UNIX or Linux application server. If you do not use this option, the printer queue is created with the default name of `tta_printer`.
`--cups y \| n \| auto`	Indicates that you are using the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS). If you do not use this option, a default of `auto` is assumed and this means SGD tries to detect whether CUPS is being used. If CUPS is incorrectly detected, use this option to tell SGD whether CUPS is being used (`y`) or not (`n`).
`--gsbindir gs_bin_dir`	Use this option to specify the directory where the Ghostscript is installed. When you run the script, it checks for the Ghostscript executables in the following locations: `/usr/local/bin` `/usr/bin` `/usr/sfw/bin` `/opt/sfw/bin` `/bin` `/usr/sbin` `/sbin` `/usr/lbin` If Ghostscript is not installed in one of these locations, use this option to specify where it is installed. If more than one version of Ghostscript is installed, use this option to specify the version you want SGD to use. Ghostscript is used for PDF printing and for converting the format of print jobs.
`--help`	Shows the list of `prtinstall.en.sh` script options.
`--nocheck`	Installs the printer queue without checking the status of the SGD print administration commands.
`--ttahost host_name`	Fully qualified DNS name of an SGD server
`--ttaprinter printer_name`	Use this option to specify a name for the printer queue. Use this if the SGD server is also used as an application server. If you do not use this option, the printer is created with the default name of `tta_printer`.
`--uninstall [printer_name]`	Uninstalls an SGD printer queue. If you do not specify a printer queue, you are prompted for one.

Examples

# sh prtinstall.en.sh --appprinter tta_london

Installs an SGD printer called tta_london on an application server.
