Unix Printing; Configuring The Print Server - Intel PCLA4251B - Netportexpress Pro Enet EXT 10BT Single Port Setup Manual

UNIX Printing

The NetportExpress print server supports UNIX, Linux, and AIX* printing
using LPR. To print from your UNIX workstation:
G Configure the NetportExpress print server by setting an IP address on the
print server. By default, the print server tries to obtain an IP address using
BOOTP, RARP, and DHCP. If the NetportExpress 10 or 10/100 fails to get
an IP address by these methods, it automatically selects an IP address in the
169.254.x.x range.
G Configure your workstation to print.

Configuring the print server

The easiest way to configure the NetportExpress print server is with Windows
Netport Manager. Select the print server in Netport Manager, click the Config
Wizard button, and follow the steps to set an IP address and the port settings. If
you set the IP address using the Config Wizard, you can go to Configuring your
workstation to print on page 15.
Before you begin
To see the current IP address, press the Test Page or Diag button on the print
server and print a test page. If the print server has an IP address that is correct
for your network, skip to Configuring your workstation to print. If the print
server has no IP address or has an IP address beginning with 169.254, continue
with the following steps to manually set an IP address.
Manually set an IP address
To manually set an IP address from a UNIX workstation, the print server and
workstation must be connected to the same subnet and not be separated by
routers.
1 Log in to a UNIX workstation as root.
2 Register the print server on your workstation by typing:
System
AIX (Ethernet)
AIX (token ring)
Other systems
Register instructions (type on one line)
arp -s ether ip_address network_address temp
arp -s token ip_address network_address temp
