6.1Introduction
The printer server is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol. The LPD protocol originated with Unix release is based on the BSD version of Unix and supported under most versions of Unix.
This chapter explains how to configure the printer server for TCP/IP operation, and how to modify configuration files on your Unix system to allow printing to the printer server. The configuration examples in this manual follow the syntax for BSD based Unix systems. Please refer to the related system documentation for the correct syntax of your systems.
To configure the printer server for LPD printing, perform the procedures below:
1. Enable Printer server’s TCP/IP Support.
2. Set up Printer server’s IP address.
3. Verify Printer server’s IP Address.
4. Configure remote LPD printing on the host.
5. Print a test page.
In the next sections, we will describe these five procedures step by step.
