3.Use this to see the correct IP address for the host alpha: ypmatch alpha hosts

If a message that states can’t bind…, user is not using NIS.

4.For NIS, with the changes made to the /etc/hosts or /etc/ethers file, update the files by typing:

cd /var/yp; make

Note: RARP or ARP do not go through routers. To assign an IP address for either, use the serial terminal or put FastPort into the same segment. Use ARP followed by telnet to assign the IP address.

5.For Sun OS using domain name servers (not YP or NIS), use fpfilter.resolver instead of fpfilter. For example:

cp fpfilter.resolver fpfilter

6.If an IP address is duplicated on the network, disconnect FastPort from the network and ping it. If there continues to be a response, another node has the same IP address as FastPort.

7.Check the arp entry for FastPort with the following command: arp <hostname of FastPort>

8.Use fpstatus <printername> to verify that the printer is ready.

D.3 UNIX Configuration Files

D.3.1 Using fpfilter Configuration Files

The fpfilter software acts as an input filter specified in the /etc/ printcap file in BSD systems. Since BSD does not allow command line options as part of an :if entry, there are two possible methods for specifying the options needed:

•Create a.fpconfig file that lists the options (The installation script will do this when installing a printer.)

•Create a shell script and specify it as the input filter. The shell script then calls the fpfilter program with the appropriate options.

For example, modify the :if entry in the printcap file to read:

Note: The fpfilter .fpconfig file will only work if using fpfilter. It will not work in typical LPR/LPD installation (see Chapter 4 for a description of the difference between host software and LPR/LPD installations).
