Unix LineJet Print Server Configuration

There are mandatory settings needed before the print server can be detected on the network, as well as some additional optional settings. This section offers alternative methods for configuring your LineJet Print Server and mentions some of the more common optional settings available.

Mandatory

The LineJet Print Server must be assigned TCP/IP values of IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Value (if required) before setting up and establishing print queues and logical Unix printers. Refer to Chapter 6, “TCP/ IP Configuration” for more information.

Additionally, the file “etc/hosts” on the Unix system (or the DNS server known to the Unix workstation being set up) must be updated to include the IP Address and logical name for the LineJet Print Server, or a DNS server needs to be set with this information so that the Unix print daemons (software processes) can communicate with the physical LineJet Print Server.

Optional

Additional settings, like routing entries, can be configured allowing for communication across subnets.

Configuration of the LineJet Print Server can be done from the control panel or through host commands.

Communicating Across Routers

Since Unix environments rely on TCP/IP to communicate with the LineJet

Print Server, attention must be paid to routing.

After following one of the LineJet Print Server configuration methods mentioned (other than the BOOTP method), you will most likely only be able to communicate with the print server from the same subnet. This means any host across a router will not be able to see your LineJet Print Server. In order to communicate across a router, it is possible to store a static default router/ gateway within the print server so that any packets destined for another subnet get forwarded to this router automatically. The router (or series of routers) can then take over ensuring the packets get to their final destination on another subnet on your network.

To configure a default router/gateway within the LineJet Print Server:

1.Use the printer front panel to configure the gateway value.

2.Load a Web browser on your Unix station on the same subnet and direct it to the URL http://LineJetIPaddress/networkConf.html (e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html)

Note

If prompted for a User ID and password first, type in root for the ID and

 

press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no default password.
