Kodak Kodak 10/100 Network Interface Card, 3H0610 manual Introduction to LPD/LPR

Unix Environment

Note: The printer/NICÕs assigned IP address must be on the same local subnet as the Unix workstation.

4.Make a telnet connection to maintenance port 2002. (Type: telnet kodak 2002).

5.Press [!] and press [Enter].

Note: The following warning may appear: ÒEntering monitor will lock out other Ethernet access. Type yes to get to the command prompt.Ó Press [Enter].

6.At the menu option, press [I] and then [Enter].

7.Press [Y] for yes when prompted.

This address will be stored in the deviceÕs NVRAM.

8.Restart the device with the R command, then power cycle the printer.

10.1.2Verifying IP Address is Set Properly

To see if the printer/NIC is up and running on the network, use the ping command. Type: ping <ptrname> or ping <IP Addr>

A message that the host is alive or Packets received OK should appear.

10.2 Introduction to LPD/LPR

Printing to LPD allows you to print as if the printer were directly attached to a remote BSD Unix system. ConÞguration requires assigning an IP address to the printer/NIC and setting up a remote BSD Unix-like printer. Kodak provides an installation script to conÞgure the printer/NIC on Unix and add printers.

The printer/NIC supports multiple queues by simultaneously printing via LPD from a maximum of 12 different queues (limitation does not apply for host software printing).

The device listens for LPD connections on 12 ports; if all 12 are in use, the 13th LP daemon will not make a connection. If this happens, restart the line printer daemon.

Systems that support LPD/LPR include:
