6. UNIX System Network
6.1 Introduction
The print server is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix LPD (Line Printer
Daemon) protocol. The LPD protocol originated with Unix release is based
on the BSD version of Unix and supported under most versions of Unix.
This chapter explains how to configure the print server for TCP/IP
operation, and how to modify configuration files on your Unix system to
allow printing to the print server. The configuration examples in this
manual follow the syntax for BSD based Unix systems. Please refer to the
related system documentation for the correct syntax of your systems.
To configure the print server for LPD printing, perform the procedures
below:
1. Enable Print Server’s TCP/IP Support.
2. Set up Print Server’s IP address.
3. Verify Print Server’s IP Address.
4. Configure remote LPD printing on the host.
5. Print a test page.
In the next sections, we will describe these five procedures step by step.
6.2 Enable Print Server’s TCP/IP Support
The default configuration of the print server is with TCP/IP support
enabled. Anyway, you can configure the print server to enable TCP/IP
support using the configuration program.
