Configuring for TCP/IP
7-12 Part No. 6B4389 June 1999
Configuring Unix Systems for TCP/IP Printing
Refer to notes on Unix support at the beginning of this chapter
regarding support for Unix platforms.
Assign an IP address to the printer (NIC) using the printer’s front
control panel or by using utilities described in the “Using
Configuration Utilities.”
The configuration procedure for Unix TCP/IP printing includes the
following steps on a Unix workstation:
— Adding the 8670 printer to the host table.
— Assigning a print queue.
— Setting up the remote printer.
— Creating a spool directory.
Adding the Kodak Printer to the Host Table
Use an editor to add an entry to the hosts file containing the IP
address and node name of the NIC. An example of an IP address
and node are:
1982.189.207.3 KOD_00C351
NOTE: Some systems such as HP/UX and AIX allow you to enter
the IP address as the host name when setting up the print
queue. In this case you do not need to configure the /etc/
hosts file.
Assigning a Print Queue
Choose the NIC service you wish to use.
Setting Up the Remote Printer
Modify the /etc/printcap file to set up the remote printer for most
Unix systems. If you have an RS/6000 AIX, HP/US, Sun Solaris
2.xx, and other systems that do not use the printcap file, skip to
the appropriate section for the Unix system you have to configure
the Unix workstations for TCP/IP.
