Appendix C C Unix Systems Overview Your Wireless LevelOne Printer Server supports the LPD Unix printing method, which is supported by all common Unix systems. You must configure both the Wireless LevelOne Printer Server itself and your Unix system, as described in the following sections. LevelOne Printer Server IP Address Configuration Because it supports dynamic IP Address allocation using DHCP or BOOTP, the LevelOne Printer Server ships with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP Address.
Level One Printer Servers LPD Printing LPD is a built-in printing protocol for most UNIX systems. Configuration for the most common platforms is described below. LPD on IBM AIX 4.15 Before proceeding, ensure that the LevelOne Printer Server has been assigned an IP Address. To setup your AIX system for LPD printing, perform the following steps. 1. Add the LevelOne Printer Server to /etc/hosts.lpd, using the name you assigned to the LevelOne Printer Server. 2.
Unix LPD on System V Before beginning LPD Setup, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the LevelOne Printer Server. Keep the following points in mind: The remote host name is the name of the LevelOne Printer Server. The remote printer name is the print queue name for the Logical Printer. Logical printers also need to be configured on the LevelOne Printer Server itself. If your UNIX asks for the LPD type, be sure to identify the service type as BSD.
Level One Printer Servers Where: Printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the corresponding logical printer. PS_NAME is the LevelOne Printer Server name defined in /etc/hosts. Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the LevelOne Printer Server. (e.g. L1) Spooler_directory is the directory you created in Step 6.
Unix LPD on BSD Before continuing, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the LevelOne Printer Server. Remember the following: The remote host name is the name of the LevelOne Printer Server. The remote printer name is the logical printer (e.g. L1) on the LevelOne Printer Server. If asked for the LPD type, enter the service type as BSD.
Level One Printer Servers Example: Marketing|RP1_PS123456:\ [TAB] :lp=:\ [TAB] :rm=PS_Rm203:\ [TAB] :rp=L1:\ [TAB] :sd=/usr/spool/Marketing:\ [TAB] :mx#0: Repeat this process for each Logical Printer/Print Queue combination that you wish to create.
