AIX 4.1.5 configuration
The following explanation uses AIX4.1.5 and a C7300V2 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 c7300v2
192.168.20.127 c7300v2
3. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network
card.
Example: for host name c7300v2
# ping c7300v2
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 the network interface card, consult
the network manager.
4. Register the host that was previously registered as the print
server.
Example: for the c7300v2 registered as the print server
a. Add the print server.
# ruser –a –p c7300v2
b. Activate the remote printer daemon.
# startsrc –s lpd
# mkitab ‘lpd:2:once:startsrc –s lpd’
