-dev |
device file |
This option is mandatory and is also used in
order to get the status or to stop a running server. Device file is the name of the character device on which the printer is attached (/dev/lp0, /dev/usb/lp0, /dev/ecpp0, ...) |
-nodaemon |
This option is for test purpose, without this
option mtink start in the background. |
|
-model |
model name |
If the printer don't return it identity you may
tell which printer is attached. The name is derived from the official
name and space characters are to be replaced by the "_ " character.
This will be the case for the Stylus Scan 2500 (model anme isScan_2500).
This option may also be usefull for multifunction device as the Stylus Photo 895 under Linux. If the printer is powered off and then on, the usb kernel will not detect the printer properly and mtinkd must be at least stopped and started again. |
-name |

The name of the named pipe will be set according
to this name. If the -model option is not given, mtinkd
will terminate if the identification returned don't comply with passed
name |
-usbbase |
path and device file base |
ONLY FOR LINUX This option require a
special system call which is only implemented into newer kernels. The -type <name> option is required ! path and device file base may be /usr/usblp or /usr/usl/lp. All device files matching whith the passed name will be scanned for the wanted printer, the device file will then be used later. If the kernel don't support the special call, scanning will fail and if the -dev <device file> option was given, the given device file name will then be used. |
