AXIS axinstall Script

Having performed the basic TCP/IP setup procedures as defined earlier in this manual, you are now able to print in interactive mode using PROS, LPR, FTP or Reverse Telnet protocols. However, if you want to integrate the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 with your host spooler, you can use the Axis automatic installation script axinstall. The axinstall script is available from ftp://ftp.axis.com/pub_soft/prt_srv/utility/axinstall/latest/

After executing this script, the printer connected to the print server will appear as though it is directly connected to the host printer spooler.

If you intend to use the print server in a multi-protocol environment, refer to the chapters pertaining to the respective operating systems in this manual.

When the axinstall script has been downloaded to your host, execute the script with this command:

sh axinstall or sh ./axinstall (depending on your system).

You will be guided through the installation by a step-by-step procedure. During the installation you will be asked to select a print method; we suggest you choose LPD or, for more functionality, use the PROS filter or named pipe methods. Please refer to the following pages if you need guidance on the choice of print methods.

Note: NLPRng is not supported by axinstall.

The axinstall script will suggest one of the systems listed below when started. If you do not find the suggestion appropriate, then manually select any of the systems listed.
