Section 4 - Appendix B - Application Considerations

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, the following prerequisites must be met. Most of the time steps 2 through 5 are already configured since the HP-UX system is on a TCP/IP network. Do not perform steps 2 through 5 unless the installation procedure fails!

1.The name OKIPRINTER and the IP address assigned to the OkiLAN 6120e are in the “/etc/hosts” file on the HP-UX system.

2.Make sure the rlp process is not running by typing at the UNIX prompt:

ps -e grep rlp

If rlp is not running, you will not see any output after executing this command.

If rlp is running (that is, if you see output after executing this command), kill the process with the command:

kill -15 process_number.

3.Make sure the following entry is in the “/etc/inetd.conf” file:

printer stream tcp nowait root “/usr/lib/ rlpdaemon” rlpdaemon -i

If the rlp daemon is not running when a print request is made, this entry in “/etc/inetd.conf” will tell inetd to auto-start the rlp daemon and service the pending print request. This is helpful if the daemon died or was terminated for some reason. For more information on inetd or “/etc/inetd.conf”, type man inetd or man inetd.conf.

4.Make sure the following entry is in the “/etc/services” file:

printer 515/tcp spooler

5.Start inetd by typing the following at the UNIX prompt:

/etc/inetd -c
