Configuring the Sun Solaris 2.x | Method of configuring |
Configuring in order to print from Solaris2.x of Sun Microsystems.
·Admintool is normally used to register remote printers on Open Windows. However, it cannot be used here, as the data recipient and queue have the same name. The procedure described below must be used for registering a remote printer.
·If Solaris2.x is connected with the remote printer for a long period according to the system specifications, errors appear and forced disconnections may occur. Therefore, if paper tearing, offline and other errors produce a waiting time during printing, printing may have to be aborted.
·If you type in a wrong IP address, the network may go down or other severe damage may occur. Please set the configuration only after consulting your network manager.
The following explanation relates to an example in which the Fast EtherNet is configured to work with OKIPAGE 8c(PS) as the printer under Sun Solaris 2.4. The absolute path and method of configuring the command may differ from one OS version to another. Please refer to your workstation’s manual.
1.Log in as root on the workstation.
In the case that there is no super user authorization, leave the configuration to your network manager.
2.Register the IP address of the Fast EtherNet and the host name in the /etc/hosts file.
Example: In the case that the IP address is “192.168.20.127” and the host name is “OP8c”
192.168.20.127 OP8c
3Use the ping command to confirm the connection with the Fast EtherNet.
Example: In the case that the host name is “OP8c”
#ping OP8c
In the event that there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP address of the Fast EtherNet, with the registration of the IP address and host name from Procedure 2 or with the condition of the network. Please consult your network manager.
