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.
