Setting up the UNIX server

This section describes the UNIX type network environment setup without
using the UNIX utility.
If you are going to use the UNIX utility, please refer to the Readme file
attached to the UNIX utility".

3.2.8.1 IP address and host name in the host table

Using the following procedure, add the IP address and the host name
(printer name) to the host table:
1 Get the IP address which is not used from the network adminis-
trator and determine a unique name for this network card.
2 Add the IP address and the host name to the host table of the
system. In almost all the UNIX systems, you can do this by add-
ing the following line to /etc/hosts file:
3 Update the data base. If the system uses data base such as
Yellow Pages (YP) and Network Information Services (NIS), these
must be updated. In almost all the UNIX systems, you can do
this by entering the following commands:

3.2.8.2 Printer data base

To allow the printer to function correctly in the UNIX line printer system,
you must create the /etc/printcap file. In the printcap data base, informa-
tion on the line printer directly connected to a certain machine and the
printer(s) that can be used via network is registered.
For the details of the printcap, please refer to the UNIX On-Line Manual
Page or Reference Manual.
This subsection describes how to create the /etc/printcap file, using an
example in which the remote machine name, the printer name and the
spool directory name were set to OKIPAGE 12i.
