1. A superuser (with root login) must add the RIP Station to the network's IP host table
or other system database of network printers.
2. In the file or utility used by your network, specify the remote printer name, the print
server protocol, the queue, and the spool file for the RIP Station name you assigned.
3. Make the RIP Station available as a printer to other network users.
4. To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any
computer on the network, at the command prompt, type:
ping <IP address>
Type the RIP Station IP address assigned in RIP Station Network Setup.
After the RIP Station is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you
gave to the RIP Station:
ping <hostname>
The server should respond with a message such as
Reply from <IP address> ...
Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address. To
stop the output, type
T RIP S
O PRINT TO THE TATION
• On a UNIX system running SunOS 4 or other BSD-based variant, use the lpr command
to send a job to the RIP Station.
• On a UNIX system running Solaris 2 or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the
lp command to send a job to the RIP Station.
• Windows NT 4.0 users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send print jobs to the
RIP Station from their applications or from a command prompt.
When Windows NT 4.0 users print from applications, they use the AdobePS
PostScript driver. Users can set print options with the driver, but not from the UNIX
command line.
