Printer attachment requirements

RS/6000 requirements
You need one or more IBM 4033 LAN Connections for Printers and Plotters
Models 1 or 3 or IBM 7318 Serial Communications Network Servers if you are
connecting more then one parallel-attached printer or two serial-attached printers
to one RS/6000
connect printers to. You can connect multiple 4033s to one RS/6000 to
accommodate your parallel- and serial-attached printer needs as determined by
performance considerations. Each 7318 provides two parallel and sixteen serial
ports on the network.
TCP/IP-attached printer requirements
Printers must be TCP/IP-attached to the RS/6000 using their Ethernet or
Token-Ring attachments.

Understanding AIX software requirements

InfoPrint Manager for AIX requires the AIX operating system is installed at one of
these Versions:
v AIX 5.3 Maintenance Level 5 or higher
v AIX 6.1
To ensure correct operation, InfoPrint Manager requires that certain components of
the AIX operating system be installed on your RS/6000 system. It is up to you to
install the base level of these components from your AIX product CD-ROMs before
starting the InfoPrint Installer for Version 4.3.0 (see InfoPrint Manager for AIX:
Installation Instructions for more information about using the InfoPrint Installer).
To install the InfoPrint Manager base, we recommend that you simply run the
InfoPrint Installer. If you are missing any required base AIX filesets for Version
4.3.0, the installer lists them and directs you to install them from your AIX product
CD-ROMs.
To make the installation as easy as possible, the InfoPrint installer will
automatically apply service to your AIX software to meet InfoPrint Manager
prerequisites. This service is needed to make sure that InfoPrint Manager will
function properly. Be advised, however, that the installer will not automatically
apply service that is hardware-specific.
InfoPrint Manager supports running on Version 5.3 in a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel
environment, or Version 6.1 in a 64-bit kernel environment.
