Note • If you are using the PagePro 4100E printer, install the optional Net- work Card following to the procedure described in this section. If you are using the PagePro 4100GN printer, you don’t need to install the Network Card, because the printer comes with a network interface device on its controller board.
2-2 Connecting a Network Cable 2-2 Connecting a Network Cable Make sure that printer power is turned off. Connect the network cable to the Network Card. Insert the plug into the 10/100BaseT port on the rear panel of the Network Card and press it in until you hear it click securely into place.
2-3 Setting Up the Network Card You must first configure the Network Card and your computer before you can print using the Network Card. The settings you need to make depend on the configuration of your network environment. Chapters 3 through 6 of this manual describe configurations for the environments listed below.
LPR printing See 3-3-2 LPR Printing. 3-1 Windows 95/98 A Windows 95/98 network printer can be used by going through a Novell NetWare or Windows 2000/NT server.

Either of the two connection configurations described below can be used. Host-based lpd In this configuration, a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations and print data is sent to the Network Card via a TCP/IP port.
Page 77
Printer-based lpd In this configuration, the printer appears as a host running a line printer daemon. Printer Network Card TCP/IP Generally, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD UNIX systems that require an entry in the printcap file once the Network Card has its IP information.
6-1-1 BSD System This section describes how to set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to the Network Card using printer resident lpd. This is accomplished by adding an entry to the host’s each printer you use.
6-1-2 AIX Version 2.5 This section describes how to set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to the Network Card using the Network Card’s lpd. At the prompt, type: #smit spooler On the window that appears, select...
Use the Network Card host address for Remote System. Assign an appropriate name (like remote system. Type in a description of the printer. This information is optional. 10. Press to apply what you have input and create the queue. Enter 11.
When working with the output queue description (WORKOUTQD), you must provide information for a number of fields in order to allow the Network Card to function properly as a remote printer device. When prompted for the remote system, type AS/400 system recognizes the device as an IP device.
This tells the AS/400 system to convert text. Manufacturer type and model comes with the printer. 6-1-6 DEC ULTRIX 4.3 RISC, OSF1/ALPHA Use the following procedure to set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to a Network Card. At the prompt, type: lprsetup...
6-1-7 SCO UNIX Use the following procedure to set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to a Network Card using lpd. At the prompt, type: mkdev rlp Note •...
6-1 Printer-based lpd Configuration Is lprprinter1 a remote printer or a local printer? Type: Enter remote host name. Type the Network Card host name recorded in the printcap file. Example: lprprinter Confirm the information you have entered. Type: Confirm the preceding connection as your system default.
Some systems require input of the remote host IP address instead of the remote host name. Type the following command: lpadmin -p <local printer name> -s <Network Card host name> ! <remote queue name> Note • Do not input a space after the remote host name.
/usr/MLT_install Note • If you already have a Network Card printer at your site and you are now installing another one, delete the files in the installation directory (not /usr/nic). If these files remain, they can prevent the installation of a subsequent print server.
There are a number of options available when executing the script for each type of system. When you run an installation script, it first asks if the printer is a PostScript printer. If you reply uses an input filter (infilter) that performs CR/LF translation for printing of ASCII files on a PCL printer.
6-14 . For example, type /etc/hosts Enter Enter . Otherwise, type Enter if the printer is a PostScript printer. Oth- Enter Enter file. Type if you want the entries . If you do not want them Enter and then manually make the required...
Page 90
* All printcap entries start with a tab except for the first. The script creates a spool directory in mon for the newly configured printer. At this time, the script dis- plays the path you should use if you ever need to restart the daemon.
6-16 . For example, type /etc/hosts Enter Enter . Otherwise, type Enter is the printer is a PostScript printer. Oth- Enter Enter file. Type if you want the entries . If you do not want them Enter and then manually make the required...
Enter Like all BSD systems, ULTRIX uses the a printer. The interface to the installation script is the same for all BSD systems, but the printcap entry is different. 6-2-5 HP-UX System Type the following command to run the installation script.
Page 93
The above example reflects the name supplied to the script earlier. After the installation script is complete, you must then configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. The HP-UX lp system uses the lpadmin command used to configure a printer. There is no file.
Note • The default interface is generally sufficient for most PostScript, PCL, and ASCII files. To use a printer-specific interface other than the default interface script (named standard ), you must have a copy of that printer interface edited and installed in the /usr/nic directory.
Page 95
6-2 Host-based lpd Configuration Note • For <printer serve name> must be the same as the one recorded in . Optional arguments inserted between the etc/hosts before the trailing . For details, see the System 5 Release 4 System Administration ${files} Manual.
The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer interface file. After performing the procedure under 6-2-1 Loading the Program, you must configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. Type the following to run the installation script:...
Page 97
You can use other options in the lpadmin command. See your system documentation for full details. Note The printer name must be the same as the one you specified dur- • ing Network Card installation. SCO also provides the gram, which can be used to configure the printer.
A different virtual printer should be defined for each data stream that is supported by a real printer. Even when PostScript and PCL jobs are destined for the same printer, for example, each job uses a different virtual printer.

During this process, you also select a particular printer type for the new printer, which inherits the set of predefined attributes for that printer type. The set of attributes is sufficient for most cases, but settings can be changed using SMIT or the chvirprt command. See the AIX RISC System/6000 documentation in cases where a printer requires even more extensive settings.

Before you can use TCP/IP for network printing, you must first assign the following IP parameters to the Network Card: IP address, subnet mask, default gateway. You can use any of the following methods for assigning IP parameters to the Network Card. Bundled Utility Programs •...

7-5 Using the DHCP Daemon (For UNIX) 7-5 Using the DHCP Daemon (For UNIX) Under DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the server automatically provides IP addresses to clients. It is very similar to BOOTP. This Network Card has an onboard DHCP client. If there is a DHCP server on the network, the DHCP client automatically obtains IP parameters from the server at power up.
