Host-Based Lpd Configuration; Loading The Program - Minolta PI4700E User Manual

UNIX Configuration

Host-based lpd Configuration

You need the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the printer controller to
use host-based lpd. It contains install scripts for various types of UNIX.
This section describes how to install TCP/IP printing to the Network Card
on any of the operating systems listed below.
G DEC ULTRIX 4.3 RISC
G System V Release 4
G Solaris (Version 1.x, 2.x)
G SCO UNIX
G OSF1/ALPHA
G IBM/AIX
G
HP-UX
Once the Network Card has its IP parameters loaded, you must perform
the following steps to enable host-based TCP/IP printing.
1
Load the print server software on your workstation. This software is
provided as a tar file in the TCP/IP directory.
2
Run the appropriate installation script, if one is available.
3
Complete the configuration of your operating system.

Loading the Program

The following procedures are necessary only when using the supplied
host-based lpr. You do not need to load the software if you are using print-
er-based lpr.
1
Log in as superuser to the system that spools directly to the print server.
2
Load the CD-ROM that comes with the printer controller into the CD-
ROM drive of the computer you want to use.
3
Create a program installation directory and copy the program to it. For
example, type the following.
mkdir /usr/MLT_install
Note
If you already have a Network Card printer at your site and you are
now installing another one, delete the files in the installation directory
(not /usr/nic). If these files remain, they can prevent the installation of
a subsequent print server.
