add address entries,
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the GDI Print Server's IP address.
You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:
2. Add an entry to the host's /etc/bootptab file, similar to the following:
Lines should be indented with tabs.
Where hostname is the device name of a GDI Print Server, the ht=1 tag
specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the Ethernet
address of a GDI Print Server, which is the Node ID located on the GDI Print
Server. The ha tag must be preceded by the ht tag. The ip= tag should
correspond to the IP address you want to assign to the GDI Print Server.
For example, a GDI Print Server with the following configuration:
Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet address is 00304F010101),
IP address: 203.66.191.12
The entry for this GDI Print Server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:
11.2.3 Verify GDI Print Server's IP Address
To verify your GDI Print Server is responding to the newly assigned IP address
using a PING command:
11.2.4 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host
The procedure you use to configure your Unix/Linux host(s) to allow printing to
your network remote GDI Print Server varies between different varieties of
Unix/Linux. The procedure below can be used for Unix/Linux variants that are
related to BSD Unix, such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of Unix/Linux,
consult your system documentation, keeping in mind that:
1. The GDI Print Server should be treated as a BSD networked GDI Print Server
host.
2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned
to the GDI Print Server.
3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1, lpt2
or lpt3, the name of the printer port on the GDI Print Server.
You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root). To
configure your Unix/Linux host for printing,
203.66.191.12
hostname:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=GDI_Server_ethernet_address:\
:ip=GDI_Server_ip_address:
MF010101:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=00304F010101:\
:ip=203.66.191.12:
ping ip-address
