Introduction

The print server is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix
LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol. The LPD protocol
originated with Unix release is based on the BSD version
of Unix and supported under most versions of Unix.
This chapter explains how to configure the print server for
TCP/IP operation, and how to modify configuration files on
your Unix system to allow printing to the print server. The
configuration examples in this manual follow the syntax
for BSD based Unix systems. Please refer to the related
system documentation for the correct syntax of your
systems.
To configure the print server for LPD printing, perform the
procedures below:
1. Enable Print Server's TCP/IP Support.
2. Set up Print Server's IP address.
3. Verify Print Server's IP Address.
4. Configure remote LPD printing on the host.
5. Print a test page.
In the next sections, we will describe these five
procedures step by step.
