C Appendix C Unix Systems Overview Your Wireless Print Server supports the LPD Unix printing method, which is supported by all common Unix systems. You must configure both the Wireless Print Server itself and your Unix system, as described in the following sections. Wireless Print Server IP Address Configuration Because it supports dynamic IP Address allocation using DHCP or BOOTP, the Wireless Print Server ships with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP Address.
LPD Configuration Configuration for the most common platforms is described below. LPD on IBM AIX 4.15 Before proceeding, ensure that the Wireless Print Server has been assigned an IP Address. To setup your AIX system for LPD printing, perform the following steps. 1. Add the Wireless Print Server to /etc/hosts.lpd, using the name you assigned to the Wireless Print Server. 2. Start the LPD daemon if it is not running, using the following command: start src -s qdaemon 3.
LPD on System V Before beginning LPD Setup, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the Wireless Print Server. Keep the following points in mind: The remote host name is the name of the Wireless Print Server. The remote printer name is the print queue name for the Logical Printer. Logical printers also need to be configured on the Wireless Print Server itself. If your UNIX asks for the LPD type, be sure to identify the service type as BSD.
Where: Printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the corresponding logical printer. PS_NAME is the Wireless Print Server name defined in /etc/hosts. Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the Wireless Print Server. (e.g. L1) Spooler_directory is the directory you created in Step 6. 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
LPD on BSD Before continuing, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the Wireless Print Server. Remember the following: The remote host name is the name of the Wireless Print Server. The remote printer name is the logical printer (e.g. L1) on the Wireless Print Server. If asked for the LPD type, enter the service type as BSD.
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. Printing using LPD For LPD printing instructions, refer to your UNIX manual. The following example is for a BSD system: lpr -P printer_name filename Where: printer_name is the name of the Print Queue defined on the Unix host. filename is the name of the file you wish to print.
D Appendix D NetWare Overview • The Print Server must be configured as a valid device on your TCP/IP network. This printing method uses LPR over TCP/IP, not the Netware protocol. • To use NDPS (Novell Distributed Printing Services), the Novell server must be running Novell NetWare 5, and the PCs (clients) must be running IntranetWare Client V2.2. or later. The following procedure is designed to enable Public Access Printing under NDPS.
To start the NDPS Manager in future, enter the following command at the console: LOAD NDPSM then select the NDPS Manager object. To start the NDPS Manager whenever you bring up the server, add a command like the following to your server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file: LOAD NDPSM SerMGR.TeSupp The last item is the name of the NDPS Manager object you wish to load. 9. After creating an NDPS Manager, you can create NDPS printers by using NetWare Administrator, as explained below.
Figure 45 Configure Port Handler 10. In the Host address IP field, enter the IP Address previously assigned to the Print Server device. 11.
