Printer Installation/Configuration
Automatic Installation
The installation script on the TCP/IP utilities diskette is for UNIX
systems only. The disk is in UNIX tar format. The install script is
inappropriate for use on a PC or Macintosh system.
Use the installation script to enter the host name and IP address
for the Network Interface Card into the host tables of all spooling
hosts. This script automatically places entries into /etc/hosts and /
etc/printcap files. Generally this script works for most UNIX
systems. Refer to specific UNIX sections for manual installation
procedures if you encounter problems.
When you are logged in as root, you can use menu choice 3 of
the installation script to delete a printer. This deletes the spool
directory, log files, and printcap entry associated with the printer.
Follow the automatic installation procedure outlined using the
install script on the TCP/IP Utilities diskette
After you run the installation script, you are ready to print using
the Network Interface Card. The host software redirects your
UNIX print data to the Network Interface Card over the network.
Refer to the sections in this guide on specific print utilities under
the UNIX operating system you are using. Run the installation
script on every host that spools directly to the Network Interface
Card.
1. Log in as root.
2. Find and load the Utilities for the TCP/IP diskette.
3. Use the tar command to see the files:
tar -tvf /dev/(device)
NOTE: The device name varies depending on the type of
computer and its peripheral designations. For example, the
BSD floppy device is called fd0.
4. Change to the directory into which you want to load the host
software and files
tar -xvf /dev/(device)
