Printer Installation/Configuration

Automatic Installation

The installation script on the TCP/IP utilities diskette is for UNIX systems only. The disk is in UNIX tar format. The install script is inappropriate for use on a PC or Macintosh system.

Use the installation script to enter the host name and IP address for the Network Interface Card into the host tables of all spooling hosts. This script automatically places entries into /etc/hosts and / etc/printcap files. Generally this script works for most UNIX systems. Refer to specifi UNIX sections for manual installation procedures if you encounter problems.

When you are logged in as root, you can use menu choice 3 of the installation script to delete a printer. This deletes the spool directory, log files, and printcap entry associated with the printer.

Follow the automatic installation procedure outlined using the install script on the TCP/IP Utilities diskette

After you run the installation script, you are ready to print using the Network Interface Card. The host software redirects your UNIX print data to the Network Interface Card over the network. Refer to the sections in this guide on specifi print utilities under the UNIX operating system you are using. Run the installation script on every host that spools directly to the Network Interface Card.

1.Log in as root.

2.Find and load the Utilities for the TCP/IP diskette.

3.Use the tar command to see the files:

tar -tvf /dev/(device)

NOTE: The device name varies depending on the type of computer and its peripheral designations. For example, the BSD floppy device is called fd0.

4.Change to the directory into which you want to load the host software and files

tar -xvf /dev/(device)
