13.2.4 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host

The procedure you use to configure your Unix/Linux host(s) to allow printing to your network remote MFP Server varies between different varieties of Unix/Linux. The procedures below can be used for Unix/Linux variants that are related to BSD Unix, such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of Unix/Linux, consult your system documentation, keeping in mind that:

1.The MFP Server should be treated as a BSD networked MFP Server host.

2.The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to the MFP Server.

3.The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the printer port on the MFP Server.

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root). To configure your Unix/Linux host for printing,

1.Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the MFP Server’s IP address. You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.186 pserver

2.Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool directories are normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or /var/spool/lpd:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
