Printing form BSD Unix Versions

For “flavors” of the Unix operating system derived from or related to the BSD releases, such as SunOS 4.x, Linux, BSD/OS, FreeBSD, or NetBSD, you can use the following procedure to enable users to print to a printer connected to your D-LINK network print server:

1.Log in as the superuser (root).

2.Add an entry for the print server in the host’s /etc/hosts file, giving a hostname for the print server’s IP address. A line in /etc/hosts contains an IP address and one or more aliases for the host . For example:

202. 39. 74. 40 ps-142634 ps-142634.dlink.com.tw

If you use DNS (the Domain Naming Services protocol), you can add an address record entry to your DNS database for the print server.

3.Create a spool directory for the printer:

◊On SunOS systems, create the directory as a subdirectory of /var/spool, with the same name as the printer (e.g., /var/spool/hp5l ).

◊On Linux systems, create the directory as a subdirectory of /user/spool /lp.

◊On BSD/OS, FreeBSD, or NetBSD systems, create the directory as subdirectory of /var/spool.

4.Change the owner and permissions of the directory so that it is owned and writable by group daemon, using the following commands:

chown bin.daemon /var/spool/hp5l

chmod 775 /var/spool/hp5l
