6. UNIX Configuration

UNIX Configuration

UNIX printing utilizes a line printer daemon (lpd) to direct jobs to the printer. With printer-based lpd, the NIB acts as the line printer daemon host and accepts print jobs directly.

TCP/IP configuration of the NIB is needed for all versions of UNIX. Please refer to the NIB Owner's Manual for lpd configuration.

Note

Be sure to turn the printer off and on after changing the network configura- tion.

Reference

For information on setting IP parameters, see “Configuring the Printer for the Network with the Operation Panel” in the Operating Instructions that comes with your printer.

Setting the IP Address

The NIB IP address may be initially set in a variety of ways; including with the MAP utility when a NetWare server is present, with the UNIX bootp daemon, with rarp, or with the standard UNIX command line utility, arp.

The following instructions use arp, but the other methods may be used instead, depending on user preference.

For directions on using one of the other methods, please refer to the NIB Owner's Manual.

A Turn the printer off and then on and wait for the power-up network status page to print.

B Add an entry to the hosts file (usually etc/hosts) that includes the printer's name and the IP address.

For example, to name the printer and associate it with an IP address of 197.42.211.5, place the following entry in the hosts file:197.42.211.5 <Printer- Name>

C At the UNIX command prompt,

type: arp -s <desired_IP_address> <NIB_Ethernet_address>

(The Ethernet address is listed on the network status page as Network Ad- dress.)

For example, arp -s 197.42.211.5 00:40:AF:13:A2:70
