10. In the Protocol Settings dialog box, the Print Server tab is always
displayed on top. Make the following settings in the Print Server tab:
a. Enter the name of the directory services tree to be used in the
DSTree field. This name must be the tree that was used when
setting up the queue, printer, and print server with the NWAmin
utility.
b. Make sure that the Enable NDS box is checked.
c. In the DS Context field, enter the location in the directory services tree
where the print server resides. This field contains the path to the
container object that holds the leaf object of the print server that the
printer will connect to. In the example screen shot shown, the print
server TEK026E6F is contained in the Steve.OU container object under
the Eng branch and the CPID branch of the TEK_WV directory
services tree. The DSContext field is optional if the print server name is
unique in the specified directory services tree. The value entered must
match the location selected using the NWAdmin utility.
11. Close the PhaserShare Administrator.
This is a brief overview of the steps you follow to configure the host and the
printer for TCP/IP network. The PhaserShare Network Cards and Software System
Administrator User Manual gives the step-by-step procedure you follow to
perform this configuration. Also refer to the Tektronix web pages
www/tek./com/Color_Printers/userdocs for the latest install information. You will
first configure the host and then the printer.
Configuring the host
1.
Add the printer name to the host table (/etc/host) and assign an IP
address to the printer's name.
2. Assign a print queue to the printer. If necessary, refer to the Tektronix
web page http://www.tek.com/Color_Printers/userdoc/PShare3/
tcpunix.html", for the latest information on host-specific, TCP/IP
configurations.
For BSD systems, edit the /etc/printcap file and add a spool
directory (for example, to /usr/spool/lpr).
For System V hosts, configure the queue as a remote BSD print queue
(support for TCP/IP LPR is required).
Note Some UNIX hosts report an error when you configure a print queue
that is not currently on the network. Ignore this message.
