UNIX Configuration 12

Host-based lpd Configuration

You need the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the printer controller to use host-based lpd. It contains install scripts for various types of UNIX. This section describes how to install TCP/IP printing to the Network Card on any of the operating systems listed below.

DEC ULTRIX 4.3 RISC

System V Release 4

Solaris (Version 1.x, 2.x)

SCO UNIX

OSF1/ALPHA

IBM/AIX

HP-UX

Once the Network Card has its IP parameters loaded, you must perform the following steps to enable host-based TCP/IP printing.

1Load the print server software on your workstation. This software is provided as a tar file in the TCP/IP directory.

2Run the appropriate installation script, if one is available.

3Complete the configuration of your operating system.

Loading the Program

The following procedures are necessary only when using the supplied host-based lpr. You do not need to load the software if you are using print- er-based lpr.

1Log in as superuser to the system that spools directly to the print server.

2Load the CD-ROM that comes with the printer controller into the CD- ROM drive of the computer you want to use.

3Create a program installation directory and copy the program to it. For example, type the following.

mkdir /usr/MLT_install

Note

If you already have a Network Card printer at your site and you are now installing another one, delete the files in the installation directory (not /usr/nic). If these files remain, they can prevent the installation of a subsequent print server.
