EasyLAN Wireless appears to the network as a UNIX host computer with
a unique IP address running the line printer daemon (
result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote-LPR
command can spool jobs to EasyLAN Wireless without the need for any
special software on the host computer.
Note: Before you configure a UNIX print queue, EasyLAN Wireless
must have a valid IP address. For help, see "Configuring Network
Communications and Security" on page 12.
Berkeley UNIX host computers include Linux, Digital Equipment
Corporation Digital UNIX, OSF/1, and ULTRIX; Compaq Tru64
UNIX; SunOS (not Solaris), SCO UNIX; and many others. Sun Solaris,
HP/UX, and IBM AIX users should skip to the appropriate sections later
in this chapter.
Note: Do not use the Linux X-Windows graphical user interface printer
configuration utility, since it does not work with EasyLAN Wireless.
Instead, Linux users should follow the configuration steps listed in this
section.
Note: SCO UNIX users should use the
printer and automatically configure the /etc/printcap file (you still need
to edit the /etc/hosts file). Enter the EasyLAN Wireless service name
(INTERMEC_nnnnnn_P1 where nnnnnn is the last six digits of the
MAC address) as the name of the printer (refer to the EasyLAN Wireless
test label for the exact name of this service), and enter the name of
EasyLAN Wireless that you assigned in the etc/hosts file as the remote
host name. Note that because this name must be unique for each printer,
we recommend using the INTERMEC_nnnnnn_P1 service instead of the
normal BINARY_P1 service.
To configure for a Berkeley UNIX host
1 Edit the /etc/hosts file (or equivalent local host table). For example:
192.189.207.33 imcprinter
2 Edit the printcap file.
