: Distribution Release: Thinstation 5.0.Releases announcements with download links and checksums: Thinstation works as a client using X, ICA, RDP, SSH, NX, telnet, tn5250 and other protocols and works on standard PC hardware.

The clients may be diskless or boot from local media. There are lots of them, especially in cheap parallel port implementations.Thinstation is a modern thin client that does work on its own for basic operations like web browsing, managing removable media and printers, but rely on servers for major applications as well as administration of the clients.

#THE LINUX TN5250 PROJECT DRIVER#

This driver replaces the functionality of the lpa driver, which is now defunct. Has data to send to the host, you will get it. If the printer supports IEEE1284 nibble mode and

In order to retrieve printer info from /dev/lpt0, just apply the cat command to the device. Switched to polled mode by using the lptcontrol(8) command.ĭepending on your hardware, extended capabilities may be configured with the lptcontrol(8) command. Ports that are configured to be interrupt-driven can be The driver can be configured to be either interrupt-driven, or to poll the printer. The parallel port bus is allocated by lpt when the printer device is opened and released only when the transfer is completed: either when theĭevice is closed or when the entire buffer is sent in interrupt driven mode. See ppbus(4) for more info about the ppbus system. lpt is now arch-independent thanks to the ppbus interface. Secondly, inb()/outb() calls have been replaced by One purpose of this port was to allow parallel port sharing with other parallel devices. The current lpt driver is the port of the original lpt driver to the ppbus(4) system.

I wonder if someone could suggest me on how getting the parallel printer to printing data?įor the other printer, the serial one, it doesn't do anything at all, but first i want to print on the lpt0 Went to, downloaded a ppd file for brother 1660e but from there i'm blocked (i don't know what to do with the ppd file, i even don't know if i need that file, the doc on that site is somewhat blurry) Then i set up and lpd for the printer which actually works but the same printing result: blank pagesĪnyhow, i searched this forum and found some usefull info, This makes me think in the direction of drivers? or something i missed? When i try #cat textfile > /dev/lpt0 i get 3 blank pages In my unix, when i do #lptest > /dev/lpt0 i get 3 blank pages (no toner is not empty) Me, being more a DOS man am used to c:\dir > lpt1 and actually getting a printout That's all i know to configure on that port It actualy says that when doing #dmesg | grep lpt0 I recompiled the kernel so ppc0 is polling (wow :-)

We need to install 2 local printers on it: a parallel brother 1660eīoth printers should be able to print data the os400 sendsīut the point where we stand is that we can't make the printers speak. With solving some f13-f24 key problems we got the emulator up an running (exept for the backspace that simply returns and doesn't delete) So we deceided to begin with a new installation and choose for freebsd 4.5 because that the only unix/linux i ever worked with. As in subject: i'm involved in a project to replace old os400 terminals on twinax with linux/unix computers that run the tn5250 emulator.Īt first we got an image of a german configured suse linux that as it runs in germany but we had more problems reconfiguring the suse then it helps us
