TROY Group 100S manual Configuring the Print Server IP Address with Xconfig

Section 3 TCP/IP Network Configuration

Configuring the Print Server IP Address with XCONFIG (cont.)

7.If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command SET IP ROUTER routeraddress, where routeraddress is the desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the TROY print server. For example:

Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.189.207.1

8.To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type SHOW IP.

9.Type EXIT to end the remote console session.

10.Before attempting to print, it is very important to verify the connection between the host and the TROY print server by using the UNIX ping command with the IP address of the TROY print server. For example:

ping 192.189.207.3

You should get a message that the TROY PocketPro 100S is alive. If you get an error message or no response, then there is no connection. You will not be able to print if you cannot ping the TROY print server. If this is the case, verify that you have set up the host and TROY print server correctly and that the physical connections (e.g., the transceivers and cabling) are good. Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter for additional information.

11.To print to the TROY print server from UNIX, use the standard lpr command with the -Poption to specify the queue name. For example, to print the file TEST on the queue laser1, you would type:

lpr -Plaser1 TEST

Some AT&T-based UNIX systems, such as SCO and HP/UX, use the standard lp command instead of lpr. In these cases, use the -d option instead of -P to specify the queue name as shown in the following example:

lp -dlaser1 TEST

TROY print servers implement only a subset of the lpr options. If you want to utilize printing options such as landscape mode, language switching, etc., refer to Appendix B for information on using services.
