Configuration Network Interface Setting The first step in installing the printer under UNIX is to set up the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. This section explains one way to set them up from a UNIX workstation.

If you do not have superuser rights, the network manger should conduct the configuration. 1. Log in as root to the workstation. 2. If the printer does not have an IP address already assigned, use the arp command to set a temporary IP address.
Myprinter_lp as an example. Logical printers The printer’s network interface includes three logical printers. • lp must be used for printing a file created using the printer driver. Network User’s Guide...
Example: To delete a print job (Job ID 123) on the myprn_lp # lprm Pmyprn_lp 123 Verify the printer status using the lpq command. • The result of lpq may not be displayed correctly depending on UNIX operating system specification.
UNIX operating system specification (e.g. Solaris 2.x). FTP printing FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring a file with TCP/IP. If the print data is sent to a logical printer via FTP, it is printed. Refer to the workstation’s manual for details of the ftp command.

Cannot print with lpr and ftp. • Turn the printer off for 15 seconds and then on again. • Check there is a response to the ping command. • Check the network cable is correctly connected. • Change the cable and try again.
Cause: This issue is normally caused by the data being sent to the printer in binary format. The printer may not be able to understand data in this format, and therefore may print blank pages or garbled text.
Freehand may create their own PostScript code. For these applications, the custom paper size rotation issue does not apply. In such cases, if the Oki PPD file is selected in Quark or Freehand’s print dialog, the print job will be incorrectly rotated by 90 degrees.
Page 95
Cause: The Oki printer PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file has a dependency on a filter file. This filter file must be installed the following location: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/OkfilterA If this file is deleted, or is not present on your computer, jobs will not be sent to the printer at all. This can happen if you deleted this filter file, or if you copied a PPD file from another Mac and did not use the Oki Software installer.
