Setting Up Solaris 2.X to Use lpd
If your system recognizes the lpsystem command, you
can use lpd. Another option is the admintool if your
system supports it.
Use the following steps to install, using lpsystem:
1. lpsystem -t bsd <IP_address_of_NIC>
Enter the NIC print server host name from the
/etc/hosts file. Your system may want its IP
address instead of the remote host name.
2. lpadmin -p <local printername> -s
<remote host name or IP address>!PORT1
note:
There is no space after the remote host name.
3. Enable<local printername>
4. Accept<local printername>
Host-based lpd Setup
Once the NIC has its IP address assigned, the following
steps are necessary for Host-Side TCP/IP printing.
1. Load the provided print server software, Network
Utilities for UNIX on your workstation.
Loading the Software
The 870 Network Options CD contains install scripts for
host-based printing on various UNIX systems. (Loading
the software is not necessary if printer-based lpr is used.)
1. Log in as superuser to the system that spools directly to
the print server.
2.
Insert the 870 Network Options CD in the host drive.
3. Mount your CD-ROM and go to the UNIX directory.
Now you can run the appropriate installation script and
complete the configuration for your operating system. In
this section we provide examples for SCO UNIX and
Solaris 2.x.
