DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT

AIX parameters

This section provides information on using TCP/IP to attach an IPS printer to an RS/6000 in an AIX environment using PSF/6000 or InfoPrint Manager. The following information is applicable to an IPS attached to either a Token Ring or Ethernet LAN.

Software prerequisites – AIX

In order to print on a TCP/IP-attached IPS printer directly through PSF on an RS/6000 AIX system, you must have the PSF for AIX version 2.1 software or InfoPrint Manager for AIX version 3.1 software.

It is necessary for this software to be installed on the system before you begin the configuration process described in this section. Make sure that you are using the manuals for this software release.

Note: IBM recommends that you apply the latest program temporary fixes (PTF) to your system for IPDS printing. These PTFs are available from IBM’s website. Depending on which PSF options have been installed on your system, you may wish to apply the latest PTFs before installing your IPS. The PTF images for PSF/AIX are all cumulative fixes—the latest PTFs for a product include all previously released PTFs also.

Program temporary fixes (PTFs) The PTFs for the entire PSF/AIX product suite are available at the following IBM website:

ftp.software.ibm.com/printers/products/psfaix/fixes/

The PTFs for the entire InfoPrint Manager product suite are available at the following IBM website:

ftp.software.ibm.com/printers/products/infoprint/fixes/

Be sure to view the readme files provided at these sites. They describe what is in the PTFs and how to apply them.

For further information about PTFs, see the following IBM website, which allows you search for PTFs and read about the APARs addressed in each PTF.
