mName of queue to add Type the local queue name users will use as the name for the printer.

mHost name of remote server Type the printer IP name assigned to the printer as described in “Step 3: Assigning an IP Address to the Printer,” earlier in this chapter.

mName of queue on remote printer Type text if you want to append a carriage return to the end of each line to be printed or raw if you don’t. (Since the printer doesn’t otherwise need this remote printer queue name, it uses the name as a flag to determine whether it should add a carriage return to the end of each line.)

mType of print spooler or remote server Select BSD.

Click Do.

Click Done.

Choose Exit from the Exit menu.

To test the connection, once again type the ping command from a workstation on the same subnet as the printer:

ping printer_IP_name

If the ping command responds by telling you that the printer is alive on the network, the address assignment was successful.

If the ping command does not respond, or tells you the printer was not found, then the address assignment failed. Try the steps in this procedure again, making sure you type the printer’s Ethernet address exactly as it appears on the startup page. If it still doesn’t work, see the troubleshooting suggestions in Chapter 13.

11Try printing by using this command: lpr -Pqueue_name filename

Note that there’s no space between -Pand queue_name.
