1. UNIX Configuration
This section explains how to set up a network printer and check the print status
using UNIX.
Limitation
❒
To print from a UNIX workstation, use the file that the printer supports.
Using the Installation Shell Script
The installation shell script helps with the setup process. The installation shell
script automates some of the tasks in configuring /etc/hosts, /etc/printcap, and
in creating the spool directory for BSD UNIX, and in running lpadmin command
for System V UNIX.
Preparation
The installation shell script can be used on the following three kinds of the
workstations. Do not use this installation shell script with other types of
workstations.
• Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, 8
• HP-UX 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, 11.0
•Red Hat Linux 6.2
When you use NIS (Network Information Service) or DNS, you should con-
figure the server before running this installation shell script.
For more information about the configuration utility of your OS, see the man-
ual that came with the utility.
Assigning the IP Address
Preparation
Configure the printer to use the TCP/IP protocol.
• Confirm that the TCP/IP protocol on the printer is set to be active. (The fac-
tory default is active.)
• Assign an IP address to the printer and configure the other settings re-
quired for using the TCP/IP protocol.
Reference
For more information about how to make above settings, see the Setup Guide
that comes with the printer.
