Refer to Kodak Printer/NIC Installation and ConÞguration Overview in Chapter 1 for overall conÞguration process steps and details. This chapter describes how to conÞgure the NIC and conÞgure a queue to submit Þles to a Kodak printer in a Unix environment. Steps covered in this chapter are highlighted in the list below.

Step 1: Assess your network/printing environment

Step 2: Gather the necessary components

Step 3: Install the NIC hardware

Step 4: ConÞgure the NIC

Step 5: ConÞgure the print servers

Step 6: ConÞgure the printer for use on workstations

Step 7: Printing

Note: Although Kodak does not develop printer drivers and export modules for Unix platforms, we do assist third-party developers who provide applications and drivers to support Kodak printers. Refer to Appendix E, Technical Assistance, for information on searching the Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com) for third-party developer solutions.

10.1 ConÞguring the NIC from Unix (TCP/IP) Platforms

Devices on a TCP/IP network are identiÞed by an Ethernet and IP address. You need to minimally establish an IP address on the NIC, because the factory default IP address is Ò0.0.0.0Ó. The NIC Ethernet address is on the NIC faceplate; the IP address is assigned by your system administrator.

When the IP address in NVRAM is 0.0.0.0, the device uses RARP, BOOTP and DHCP to acquire a valid address from a RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server.

Use any of the following methods to assign the IP address:
