Connecting the Printer to a Network

Create the log files.
For example, enter the following:
cp /dev/null /var/spool/lpd/KX-PS8100q/log
5
Reboot the machine.
To set up printing on a UNIX system running Solaris 2:
1
On each workstation that will print to the printer, log into
the UNIX system as the root user.
2
At the UNIX prompt, type lpsystem -t bsd KX-PS8100
This tells your system that the printer is a print server of bsd
(Berkeley Software Distribution) type.

Type lpadmin -p KX-PS8100q -s KX-PS8100\!xjdirect
This command creates an internal queue on the workstation and
points it to the printer. The general format of this command is:
lpadmin -p <queue name> -s <hostname>\!xjdirect
NOTE:
• The name xjdirect after the exclamation point is for configuring
the printer; it is an internal name that the printer requests. It must
be xjdirect; it is not a user-selectable name. This is the only place
where it is entered.
As with SunOS 4 or other BSD based systems, when printing to
printers with a hard disk and a minimum of 32 MB of memory it is
possible to configure up to two additional printer entries, one with
the rp name xjprint and one with the rp name xjhold (see page 77).
4
Type accept KX-PS8100q
This command tells the printer to accept print requests from your
workstation. You are now ready to print from the workstation to the
printer.
5
Type enable KX-PS8100q
