  • Page 9: Chapter One

    CHAPTER ONE Unix Printing Printing from UNIX/Linux using TCP/IP Overview Print servers are supplied with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Since virtually all UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet network. The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as standard Berkeley UNIX systems.

  • Page 10: Tcp/Ip

    TCP/IP Print servers appear to the network as a UNIX host computer with a unique IP address running the lpd, line printer daemon, protocol. As a result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool jobs to print servers without the need for any special software on the host computer.

  • Page 11: General Tcp/Ip Unix Host Configuration

    General TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the following steps. As this process varies, we recommend that you refer to your system documentation (or man pages) for additional information. 1. Configure the /etc/hosts file on each UNIX host that needs to communicate with the print server.
  • Page 12 This step applies to the majority of UNIX systems, including Linux, Sun OS (but not Solaris 2.xx), Silicon Graphics (lpr/lpd option required), DEC ULTRIX, DEC OSF/1, and Digital UNIX. SCO UNIX users should follow these steps, but should also refer to the SCO UNIX Configuration section.

  • Page 13: Linux Configuration

    3. Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have an SCO UNIX system. If you have an HP/UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun Solaris 2.xx, there is no printcap file. This is also true for some other AT&T-based UNIX systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP software packages (for example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.).

  • Page 14: Hp/Ux Configuration

    HP/UX Configuration In the case of HP/UX10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer. The steps are as follows: Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select Printers and Plotters 2. Select LP Spooler 3.

  • Page 15: Ibm Rs/6000 Aix Configuration

    IBM RS/6000 AIX Configuration The RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to set up the remote printer. The procedure is as follows for AIX 4.0 and later: 1. Enter smit and select "devices" 2. Select "Printer/Plotter" 3. Select "Print Spooling" 4.

  • Page 16: Sun Solaris 2.X Configuration

    Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote printer configuration: lpsystem -t bsd prnservername lpadmin -p queue -s prnservername!prnserverservice (not required on newer Solaris systems) accept queue (not required on newer Solaris systems) enable queue Where queue is the name of the local print queue.

  • Page 17: Sco Unix Configuration

    SCO UNIX Configuration To configure a printer in version Version 5.x of SCO Unix, use the SCOADMIN program. 1. Select Printers and then Print Manager 2. On the menu select Printer and then Add Remote followed by Unix… 3. Enter the IP address of the print server and type in the printer name to be used to spool to.

  • Page 18: Dec Tcp/Ip Servers For Vms (Ucx)

    DEC TCP/IP Servers for VMS (UCX) You need to run the sys$system:ucx:$lprsetup command, specify a printer name, and then enter the print server IP address as the remote system name. Specify one of the print server services (see beginning of this section for options) as the remote system printer name (accept the defaults for other questions).

  • Page 19: Wollongong's Pathway

    Wollongong's PATHWAY First make sure that you have the Access option with lpd enabled. Then enter the print server name and IP address in the TWG$TCP:[NETDIST.ETC]HOSTS file, run the LPGEN program, and execute the command: add queue/rmachine=prnservername/rprinter=prnserverservice, where queue is the name of the queue, prnservername is the print server name from the hosts file, and prnserverservice is the print server service name.

  • Page 20: Ibm/As400

    IBM/AS400 To use a print server with an IBM AS/400 running IBM’s TCP/IP gateways services for OS/400 (the OS/400 system must be v3.1 or later) Use the CFGTCP command at your OS/400 prompt to add the print server’s TCP/IP address to the AS/400 host table. Use the following one-line OS/400 command to create the LPD queue: CRTOUTQ OUTQ(<queuename>...

  • Page 21: Other Systems

    Other Systems Other systems use similar programs to set up print servers. These programs will generally ask for the following information: Requested information: You should use: remote printer BINARY_P1 remote host computer name Any name (must match the name in the printcap file, if any) or in some cases, you may enter the print server IP address here...

Enter the DNS name of the printer if connecting to a network that uses the DNS protocol.

  • Page 64: Chapter Nine

    CHAPTER NINE TCP/IP Configuration Assigning TCP/IP Information Overview The TCP/IP protocol requires that each device on the network have it's own unique IP address. Use the following information to learn about IP address configuration. The Print server has a default IP address of 0.0.0.0, however, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network.

  • Page 65: Using The Printer Control Panel To Allocate An Ip Address

    Using the Printer Control Panel to Allocate an IP Address Refer to the printer User's Guide "1.2 Configuring the Printer on a Network" about how to configure IP address information using the printer control panel. By using the control panel of the printer, you can program the IP address details at the same time that other printer parameters are configured.

  • Page 67: Using Dhcp To Configure The Ip Address

    Using DHCP to Configure the IP Address Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP Server in your network (typically a Unix, Windows NT/2000/XP or Novell Netware network) the print server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
