Fiery X3e on a network with UNIX workstations

When a UNIX workstation is configured with the lpd protocol and connected to the
Fiery X3e over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the Fiery X3e.
Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the
initial configuration, UNIX users simply submit print jobs to a named printer.
The job management tools, along with the other Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools,
are unavailable on the UNIX platform. A Windows or Mac OS computer on the same
network as the UNIX computer that is set up to use TCP/IP for printing to the
Fiery X3e can use the job management tools to manage print jobs that originate from
all workstations on the network.
Tips for experts—UNIX workstations
Setting up the Fiery X3e in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting
up any printer or new device:
• A distinct IP address is required for the Fiery X3e as well as for each workstation on
the network.
• A name must be selected for the Fiery X3e that goes with the IP address.
• The IP address of the Fiery X3e must be registered for the network in a host database,
and also on the Fiery X3e itself.
• At least one print connection (Print or Hold) must be published.
