HP 175X, 310X manual Setup procedure, Assigning an IP address

The line printer daemon treats data in an raw queue as formatted files in PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2 languages and sends the data without change to the printer.

Data in an auto queue will be automatically processed as text or raw, as appropriate.

For the binps queue, the line printer daemon requests the PostScript printer driver to output print data in 8-bit binary form (byte values in the range of 0 to 255, instead of the standard ASCII values in the range of 0 to 127).

For user-definedqueue names, the line printer daemon adds user-defined strings before and/or after the print data. (Click here for details on setting up user-defined print queues using the print server’s embedded Web server.).

If the queue name is not one of the above, the HP Jetdirect print server assumes it to be raw1.

Setup procedure

Along with these general instructions, see your system documentation. Also search for “LPR printing” at Apple Computer’s Tech Info Library web site at http://til.info.apple.com.

The process consists of these parts:

A.Assigning an IP address to the printer networked via the print server

B.Configuring the Mac OS system for LPR printing

A.Assigning an IP address

Before you can set up a printer for LPR printing, you must assign an IP address to the printer networked via the print server, as follows.

1.Double-click HP LaserJet Utility in the HP LaserJet folder.

2.Click the [Settings] button.

3.Select TCP/IP from the scrolling list and then click [Edit].

4.Select the desired option. You can automatically obtain the TCP/IP configuration from either the DHCP server or the BOOTP server, or you can manually specify the TCP/IP configuration.
