Operating system configuration This section explains how to configure a printer for major UNIX operating systems. Sun OS 4.x.x (BSD) configuration The following explanation uses Sun OS 4.1.3 and an OKI printer as examples. The absolute path of commands and the configuration method may differ between OS versions, so refer to the workstation manuals for more information. If an incorrect IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered, the network may go down or other damage may occur.
the network. Reset the network interface card settings to their defaults and then try to set a temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after resetting the network interface card, consult the network manager. 4. Register the printer in the /etc/printcap file.
# chown –R daemon /usr/spool/PRINTER_lp # chgrp –R # daemon /usr/spool/PRINTER_lp 6. Check that lpd (printer daemon) is activated. # ps aux | grep lpd 7. If lpd is not running,start it by logging in as superuser and executing # /usr/lib/lpd & Sun Solaris 2.x configuration Admintool is normally used to register remote printers on Open Windows. However, it cannot be used here, as the data recipient and queue have the same name. The procedure below must be used for registering a remote printer.
3. Register the IP address of the network card and the host name in /etc/hosts file. Example: for IP Address 172.168.20.127 and host name PRINTER 172.168.20.127PRINTER 4. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network card. Example: for host name PRINTER # ping PRINTER If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP address (the IP address has been already set manually or by the DHCP/RARP server), or with the network.
# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p PRINTER_lp -I postscript d. Start the print scheduler. # /usr/sbin/lpsched e. Activate the print queue. # /usr/sbin/accept PRINTER_lp f.
2. Log in as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the configuration. 3. Register the IP Address of the network card and the host name in the /etc/hosts file. Example: for IP Address 172.168.20.127 and host name PRINTER 172.168.20.127 PRINTER 4. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network card.
# /etc/inetd –c 4. Register the remote printer Example: setting up a queue called PRINTER_lp to print to host PRINTER a. Register the remote printer. # /usr/sbin/lpadmin -pPRINTER_lp -v /dev/null -mrmodel \-ormPRINTER -orplp -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel -ob3 b. Activate the print queue. # /usr/sbin/accept PRINTER_lp c. Enable the print queue. # /bin/enable PRINTER_lp d. Enable the printer spooler.
AIX 4.1.5 configuration The following explanation uses AIX4.1.5 and an OKI printer as examples. The absolute path of commands and the method of configuring may differ with the OS version. Refer to the workstation’s manual. If an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or other damage may occur. Configure after consulting the network manager. 1. Log in as [root]. If you do not have superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the configuration. 2.
b. Activate the remote printer daemon. # startsrc –s lpd # mkitab ‘lpd:2:once:startsrc –s lpd’ 3. Add the print queue using the smit command. a. Activate the smit command and convert to the item [Add print queue]. # smit mkrque b. Select [remote] (the printer connected to the remote host) from [Type of connection]. c. Select [Standard procedure] from Type of remote print. d. Carry out the following settings in [Add a standard remote print queue].
of the remote server “Optional comment” LPD Printing Line Printer Daemon (LPD) is the most common protocol for printing with TCP/IP to a network printer. Refer to the workstation’s manual for details of lpr and lp commands. The following explanation in this section uses the printing of print file test.prn with printer name PRINTER_lp as an example. Logical printers The OkiLAN print server includes three logical printers. > lp must be used for printing a file created using the printer driver.
# lprm –PCprinter_lp 123 Verify the printer status using the lpq command. > The result of lpq may not be displayed correctly depending on UNIX operating system specification. > While the short format of lpq is a UNIX compatible format, the long format is unique to the OkiLAN print server. Example of the short format: # lpq –PCprinter_lp Example of the long format: # lpq –l -PCprinter_lp System V-based UNIX Print using the lp command. # lp –d Cprinter_lp test.prn Delete a print job using cancel command.
Logical directories The OkiLAN print server includes three logical directories. lp must be used for printing a file created using the printer driver. sjis must be used for printing a text file of Shift JIS Kanji code. euc must be used for the printing a text file of the EUC Kanji code Logical directory Printer function lp For direct output sjis For Shift JIS Kanji converted output euc For EUC Kanji converted output > jis and euc function only as PostScript printers.
