Configuring for TCP/IP

Configuring Unix Systems for TCP/IP Printing

Refer to notes on Unix support at the beginning of this chapter regarding support for Unix platforms.

Assign an IP address to the printer (NIC) using the printer’s front control panel or by using utilities described in the “Using Configuration Utilities.”

The configuration procedure for Unix TCP/IP printing includes the following steps on a Unix workstation:

—Adding the 8670 printer to the host table.

—Assigning a print queue.

—Setting up the remote printer.

—Creating a spool directory.

Adding the Kodak Printer to the Host Table

Use an editor to add an entry to the hosts file containing the IP address and node name of the NIC. An example of an IP address and node are:

1982.189.207.3 KOD_00C351

NOTE: Some systems such as HP/UX and AIX allow you to enter the IP address as the host name when setting up the print queue. In this case you do not need to configure the /etc/ hosts file.

Assigning a Print Queue

Choose the NIC service you wish to use.

Setting Up the Remote Printer

Modify the /etc/printcap file to set up the remote printer for most Unix systems. If you have an RS/6000 AIX, HP/US, Sun Solaris 2.xx, and other systems that do not use the printcap file, skip to the appropriate section for the Unix system you have to configure the Unix workstations for TCP/IP.
