AIX 4.1.5 configuration
The following explanation uses AIX4.1.5 and a C5300 printer as examples. The absolute path of commands and the method of configuring may differ with the OS version. Refer to the workstation’s manual. If an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or other damage may occur. Configure after consulting the network manager.
1.Log in as [root]. If you do not have superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the configuration.
2.Register the IP address and the host name in the /etc/hosts file.
Example: for IP Address 192.168.29.127 and host name C5300
192.168.20.127 C5300
3.Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network card.
Example: for host name C5300
# ping C5300
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP address (the IP address has already been set manually or dynamically), or with the network. Reset the network interface card settings to default and try to set a temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after resetting the network interface card, consult the network manager.
4.Register the host that was previously registered as the print server.
Example: for the C5300 registered as the print server
a. Add the print server.
# ruser
b. Activate the remote printer daemon.
#startsrc –s lpd
#mkitab ‘lpd:2:once:startsrc –s lpd’
5.Add the print queue using the smit command.
a.Activate the smit command and convert to the item [Add print queue].
