7 TCP/IP Printer Configuration (All Platforms)
Controlling host access
LPR (BSD systems)
You can control which hosts can access the printer through LPR. The printer’s factory default is that all hosts have access to the printer.
There are two ways to set host access:
■With a TCP/IP connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can use PhaserLink Printer Management Software. See the next topic, “Controlling host access using PhaserLink Printer Management Software” for more information.
■Send the appropriate PostScript file to the printer. See “Controlling host access using a PostScript utility file” on page 77.
