CHAPTER 8

UNIX SETUP

SETTING UP ON A UNIX SYSTEM

Here we provide basic instructions for installing the printer on your UNIX system in Solaris 2.x and SCO. For additional information, refer to your operating system administration manuals.

Configuring the IP Address on the Printer

First the SuperScript color laser printer must be assigned an IP address and routing parameters. We suggest you use the instructions in Chapter 3 for using the printer Operator Panel to set the Net (IP) Address.

Setting Up Your Printing Mode

Use these instructions to set up the printer for SCO Open Server Enterprise 5.0 and Solaris 2.x.

Installing the Printer in Your System

lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network, without the need to install software on your workstation, and with all filtering and banners done by the printer. Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.

The process begins when the LPR call finds a printer on a remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the /etc/printcap file for that printer. LPR handles a print job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpd process on the remote system and sending the data file (followed by the control file containing control information for this job) to the remote system. The printer-based lpd then filters the data and prints the job according to information contained in the control file and its own printcap file.

The following sections give specific lpd setup instructions for various systems. The SuperScript 4400N printer will be used as an example. You must log in as root in order to execute the commands.

Adding a SuperScript Color Laser Printer to Solaris 2.x

Log into your system as root. Add the printer’s IP address you already assigned into the /etc/hosts file. Using lpsystem follow these steps to open a terminal and enter the printer’s IP address from the command line.

1.lpsystem -t bsd <IP address of printer> [ENTER]

Enter the 4400N print server host name from the /etc/hosts file. Your system may want its IP address instead of the remote host name.

2.lpadmin -p<printername> -s<remote host name or IP address>!PORT1 [ENTER]

note: There is no space after the remote host name.

3.Enable<printername> [ENTER]

4.Accept<printername> [ENTER]

Then, make sure that the printer content type is set to PS” by typing lpstat -p -l to display the current printer settings. If it is not set to PS, type the following on the command line to change the printer settings.

5.lpadmin -p<printername> -I ps [ENTER]

6.lpadmin -p<printername> -T PS [ENTER]

To test that the printer was installed into the system, send a print job using any application in your operating system. Make sure that the printer you choose is the SuperScript printer that you installed earlier.
