Section 4 - Appendix B - Application Considerations

Configuring SCO UNIX for Printing with the OkiLAN 6100e+

This application note describes the configuration of the printing system on the Santa Cruz Operation’s (SCO) version of the UNIX operating system. For clarity and brevity, the following specific names will be used to represent general devices or concepts.

lj4 - The local queue name of the SCO system to which print jobs that are destined for a printer attached to the OkiLAN 6100e+ will be directed.

OKIPRINTER - The host name of the remote system which is the OkiLAN 6100e+. For example, to telnet to the OkiLAN 6100e+ and invoke the OkiLAN 6100e+ Configuration utility, you would type telnet OKIPRINTER. A host name is not required for the OkiLAN 6100e+, the IP address may be used.

yourqueuename - This is the name of the queue on the OkiLAN 6100e+ and must end with 1, 2, 3 or 4 depending on the port selected to service the print jobs.

If FF, LF or NF are the last two letters of the queue name, the job will be converted accordingly. See pages IV-15 and IV-16 for more information on remote queue names.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, verify that the following prerequisites are met:

1.SCO TCP/IP version 1.2 or later must be installed.

2.The name of the OkiLAN 6100e+ (OKIPRINTER) and the IP address you wish to assign are in the “/etc/hosts” file of the SCO machine.

3.The IP address of the OkiLAN 6100e+ has been assigned and you are able to telnet to OKIPRINTER successfully.
