Tips for experts—UNIX workstations
Setting up the DocuColor in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting up any printer or new device:
•A distinct IP address is needed for the DocuColor as well as for each workstation on the network.
•You select a DocuColor name that goes with the IP address.
•The IP address must be registered for the network in a host database, and also on the DocuColor itself.
•The Print queue must be published in Printer Setup.
Lpd printing to the Direct connection is not supported.
The following information pertains especially to the DocuColor:
•DocuColor is a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.
•DocuColor has an internal (machine) name you must determine before you can com- municate with it successfully.
See the next section for details.
Important note about the remote printer name
Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for remote printer (or rp in the /etc/printcap file) in configuring the DocuColor is:
print_5750
The remote printer or rp name is also used when setting up your Windows NT workstation or server to connect to the DocuColor over TCP/IP.
Enter the remote printer name when you set up your Windows NT printer, as the “Name of printer on that (lpd host) machine” in the Add lpd compatible printer dialog box (see Getting Started).
