6 Enter information into the remote printer form, as follows:
m
Name of queue to add
Type the local queue name users will use as the name
for the printer.
m
Host name of remote server
Type the printer IP name assigned to the printer
as described in “Step 3: Assigning an IP Address to the Printer,” earlier in
this chapter.
m
Name of queue on remote printer
Ty p e text if you want to append a carriage
return to the end of each line to be printed or
raw if you don’t. (Since the
printer doesn’t otherwise need this remote printer queue name, it uses the
name as a flag to determine whether it should add a carriage return to the
end of each line.)
m
Type of print spooler or remote server
Select BSD.
7 Click Do.
8 Click Done.
9 Choose Exit from the Exit menu.
10 To test the connection, once again type the
ping
command from a workstation on the
same subnet as the printer:
ping printer_IP_name
If the
ping command responds by telling you that the printer is alive on the
network, the address assignment was successful.
If the
ping command does not respond, or tells you the printer was not
found, then the address assignment failed. Try the steps in this procedure
again, making sure you type the printer’s Ethernet address exactly as it
appears on the startup page. If it still doesn’t work, see the troubleshooting
suggestions in Chapter 13.
11 Try printing by using this command:
lpr -Pqueue_name filename
Note that there’s no space between -P and queue_name.
