About UNIX/Linux filters
In the Install Disc, the following filters for UNIX/Linux workstations are included:
net_estcolor (For a Color MFP)
net_estbw (For a Black and White MFP)
This file is a shell script that will be installed in “/usr/lib/lp/model”. It contains all the parsing for the printer
specific commands and it generates all the output code. Being a shell script, a system administrator can
modify it if a site requires any custom options or if other components are installed in non-standard locations.
Ipdsend
This is an executable program that is called by net_estcolor/net_estbw to send the print file to the system
using the LPD protocol. This program will be installed in “/opt/toshiba/tap/bin”.
lpLinux.sh (For the Linux filter)
This file is a shell script that simulates the command line functions of lp. After processing the command line
options, the e-STUDIO filter is invoked in the same way as a System V print filter. This file is installed in “/opt/
toshiba/tap/bin”. A symbolic link to this file will be installed in the “/usr/local/bin” directory as lptap.
estcolorBackend (For a Color MFP and its AIX filter)
estbwBackend (For a Black and White MFP and its AIX filter)
This is an executable program that is called by the AIX qdaemon. It receives the arguments from the
qdaemon, interrogates it for copy information etc. then calls the queues’ copy of net_estcolor/net_estbw to run
the print. This program will be installed in “/opt/toshiba/tap/bin”.
estcoloradd (For a Color MFP)
estbwadd (For a Black and White MFP)
This file is a shell script that is used to create a printer description. This file will be installed in “/opt/toshiba/tap/
bin”. A symbolic link will be installed in the “/bin” directory that will point to the actual location of this file.
estcolorrm (For a Color MFP)
estbwrm (For a Black and White MFP)
This file is a shell script that is used to remove a printer description. This file will be installed in “/opt/toshiba/
tap/bin”. A symbolic link will be installed in the “/bin” directory that will point to the actual location of this file.
net_estcolor.1 (For a Color MFP)
net_estbw.1 (For a Black and White MFP)
This is an input file for the man command that supplies online documentation for the printer specific options.
This file will be installed in “/opt/toshiba/tap/man/man1”. A symbolic link will be installed in the /usr/man/man1
directory that will point to the actual location of this file.
