Chapter5 Adding Printers in Unix/Linux
This chapter describes how to add network printers to Unix/Linux PC.
5.1 Configuring Host File
If using IP administration system like DNS, manually registering the
host name and IP address may be not required. Otherwise, you have
to edit hosts file and contact your network administrator.
1. Log in to Linux machine by “root”.
# login root
2. Register FPS-3003 MFP server’s host name and IP address to
/etc/hosts file.
To edit host file, use an editor, e.g. “vi”.
Example: The IP address is “192.168.1.100”, host name is
“FPS-3003”
192.168.1.1 dns # DNS Server
192.168.1.2 mail # Mail Server
192.168.1.100 FPS-3003 # MFP-Server
3. Switch on the MFP server. Verify the network connection by
using ping command.
# ping FPS-3003
If there is no response or error is indicated, there may be
problems with IP address configuration, host file editing or
network status. Please contact your network administrator.
5.2 Printing by LPD/LPR
This section explains how to print using LPD protocol of TCP/IP.
For further information on “lpr” and “lp” commands, refer to your
workstation manual.
LPD Protocol: LPD (Line Printer Daemon) is a protocol that enables
you to execute printing to a printer on the network.
Remote-Printer Queue: FPS-3003 has two remote printer queues
USB1_LQ and USB2_LQ with respect to USB port 1 and UB port2.
To print files using a printer driver, use “lp” or “lpr”.
