6.Set up spool directories. After you have edited the /etc/hosts and /etc/printcap ﬁles, create and set permissions for the spool directory you speciﬁed. For example:

cd /usr/spool/lpd mkdir colorprinter chown daemon colorprinter chgrp daemon colorprinter chmod 770 colorprinter

Refer to your UNIX documentation for the correct command syntax for your workstation.

Printer conﬁguration

There are two steps to printer conﬁguration:

1.Set the printer’s IP address and other addressing information. The Phaser 840 printer supports the use of IP host name as well as an IP address. See Chapter 8, “Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters” for more information.

2.Set the printer’s other TCP/IP parameters (optional):

■Set host access and control-character ﬁltering for each port.

■Receiving printer status (Syslog, SNMP, or email notiﬁcation).

For information on setting these TCP/IP parameters, see the

PhaserShare Networking Manual on the printer’s CD-ROM.
