DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT

Network configurations – AIX

The IPS printer is supported in the following types of RS/6000 with AIX configurations, provided that the network is configured properly and the software prerequisites are installed.

•

•

Basic configuration in which the RS/6000 running AIX and PSF for AIX is attached to a LAN using either a Token Ring or Ethernet network adapter. The printer is attached to the same segment or ring.

Configurations in which the LAN with the printer attached is connected to the LAN where the RS/6000 print server is attached, using LAN devices such as routers.

Note: There may be printer performance and throughput implications with some of these configurations. Your network management group should be involved in planning this installation.

Configuration steps—AIX

This section provides references to detailed information on configuring an IBM RS/6000 system to print to an IPS printer using a TCP/IP LAN connection.

PSF/6000 For detailed information on configuring PSF/6000 so it recognizes your TCP/IP-attached printer, refer to Part 2, “Installing and Configuring PSF for AIX” in the IBM Print Services Facility for AIX: Print Administration manual (#S544-3817). This manual is available in PDF format at the following IBM website:
