Installing for HP-UX

  1. Make sure you have enough disk space in /opt to install the printer driver. The packages will be installed into the /opt file system. If this file system is full, create a symbolic link that points to a directory in another file system. The symbolic link appears to be a real directory, but the files are actually installed in the location the link references.

    For example, to install MVP in /disk2/mvp, do the following:

    1. Create a directory in the location where you want the packages to be installed.

      For example: mkdir /disk2/mvp

    2. Create a symbolic link pointing to the directory you created.

      For example: ln -s /disk2/mvp /opt/markvision_pro.
