AIX 4.1.5 configuration
The following explanation uses AIX4.1.5 and a ML8810 printer as
examples. The absolute path of commands and the method of configuring
may differ with the OS version. Refer to the workstation’s manual. If an
incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or other damage
may occur. Configure after consulting the network manager.
1. Log in as [root]. If you do not have superuser rights, the
network manager should conduct the configuration.
2. Register the IP address and the host name in the /etc/hosts
file.
Example: for IP Address 192.168.29.127 and host name ML8810
192.168.20.127 ML8810
3. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the
network card.
Example: for host name ML8810
# ping ML8810
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP
address (the IP address has already been set manually or dynamically), or
with the network. Reset the network interface card settings to default and
try to set a temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after
resetting, consult the network manager.
4. Register the host that was previously registered as the print
server.
Example: for the ML8810 registered as the print server
a. Add the print server.
# ruser –a –p ML8810
b. Activate the remote printer daemon.
# startsrc –s lpd
# mkitab ‘lpd:2:once:startsrc –s lpd’
5. Add the print queue using the smit command.
a. Activate the smit command and convert to the item [Add print
queue].
