6.Set up spool directories. After you have edited the /etc/hosts and /etc/printcap files, create and set permissions for the spool directory you specified. For example:

cd /usr/spool/lpd mkdir colorprinter chown daemon colorprinter chgrp daemon colorprinter chmod 770 colorprinter

Refer to your UNIX documentation for the correct command syntax for your workstation.

Printer configuration

There are two steps to printer configuration:

1.Set the printer’s IP address and other addressing information. The Phaser 840 printer supports the use of IP host name as well as an IP address. See Chapter 8, “Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters” for more information.

2.Set the printer’s other TCP/IP parameters (optional):

■Set host access and control-character filtering for each port.

■Receiving printer status (Syslog, SNMP, or email notification).

For information on setting these TCP/IP parameters, see the

PhaserShare Networking Manual on the printer’s CD-ROM.
