Configuring the Sun Solaris 2.x
Configuring in order to print from Solaris2.x of Sun
Microsystems.
· 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 described below must be used for registering
a remote printer.
· If Solaris2.x is connected with the remote printer for a
long period according to the system specifications,
errors appear and forced disconnections may occur.
Therefore, if paper tearing, offline and other errors
produce a waiting time during printing, printing may
have to be aborted.
· If you type in a wrong IP address, the network may go
down or other severe damage may occur. Please set the
configuration only after consulting your network
manager.
The following explanation relates to an example in which the
Fast EtherNet is configured to work with OKIPAGE 8c(PS) as
the printer under Sun Solaris 2.4. The absolute path and method
of configuring the command may differ from one OS version to
another. Please refer to your workstation’s manual.
Method of configuring
1. Log in as root on the workstation.
In the case that there is no super user authorization,
leave the configuration to your network manager.
2. Register the IP address of the Fast EtherNet and the host
name in the /etc/hosts file.
Example: In the case that the IP address is “192.168.20.127”
and the host name is “OP8c”
192.168.20.127 OP8c
3 Use the ping command to confirm the connection with the
Fast EtherNet.
Example: In the case that the host name is “OP8c”
# ping OP8c
In the event that there is no reply, there is a problem
with the configuration of the IP address of the Fast
EtherNet, with the registration of the IP address and
host name from Procedure 2 or with the condition of
the network. Please consult your network manager.
