Reverse Telnet

Other UNIX Systems

OS/2 Systems

Often used for printing via a terminal server printer port. Only recommended if you already have a Reverse Telnet driver installed.

Advantages:

Easy to set up with previously installed Reverse Telnet drivers.

Limitations:

No status logging. Drivers are not supplied with the AXIS 540/640. Existing drivers may be slow.

Most UNIX systems resemble either BSD or System V and so with some ingenuity, a solution can be devised for other variants.

If the system has BSD socket type networking support, then prosbsd (in the bsd directory of the AXIS 540/640) can be used as a starting point. It receives print data from stdin, and writes a log file to stderr. Nothing is written to stdout.

Alternatively, FTP may be used. It is a good idea to use bsd/ftp_bsd or sysv/ftp_sysv as a starting point.

If you are using OS/2 version 2.x and you wish to print through TCP/IP, we recommend that you use the IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 product. It supports the LPD and interactive FTP print methods.

IBM MVS Systems A sample JCL script, jclex, is available in the mvs directory of the AXIS 540/640. It gives an example of howto print a file from an MVS mainframe to an AXIS 540/640 using FTP.

IBM AS/400 Systems Axis has produced a white paper covering AS/400 printing to Axis network print servers. It is available on Internet via the Axis WWW Home Page at http://www.axis.com/.

Windows NT If you are using Windows NT version 3.5 or later, you can use LPD Systems printing over the TCP/IP protocol. For instructions on installing the

TCP/IP protocol stack on your Windows NT platform, refer to Windows NT - LPD Printing on page 54.
