Aix Remote Queue Time-Out Setting; Printing From Aix; Printing With Ftp - InfoPrint 6500 Series User Manual

Troubleshooting
This installation procedure assumes that the ethernet is configured with the
correct IP address, subnet mask, and gateway (if required). In addition you
can also ping and telnet to the ethernet.
Print an ethernet test page to verify the Ethernet settings.
See "Configuration Using The Control Panel" on page 21.
The default ethernet queue name is d1prn (in lower case), however the name
can be changed. To verify the queue name, print an
E-Net Test Page or telnet to the adapter and do a "list dest" command.
AIX Remote Queue Time–Out Setting
Symptoms: Print jobs restart or queue goes down.
If the queue is set up for standard processing (not local filtering), add -T50
flag to rembak to the queue device stanza for the queue in /etc/qconfig
backend = /usr/lib/lpd/rembak -T50
If the queue was set up for local filtering edit the file
/usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piorlfb and change the line;
typeset piorlfb_rbflags=''''
to
typeset priorlfb_rbflags="-T50"

Printing From AIX

Version 4.0 and higher of AIX
This means, to set up a new printer under this operating system, you only
need to define these two parameters:
1. Ethernet IP address. The IP address or host name of the print server to
which you want to print.
2. Ethernet destination/queue. A pre-defined name on the print server
telling the device to which I/O port to send the jobs. Most likely, you will
use d1prn for the PRN.

Printing With FTP

Print jobs can also be sent to the ethernet using the File Transfer Protocol
(FTP). To do this:
1. On your network station, change to the directory containing the file you
want to print.
2. Open an FTP session with the ethernet.
Syntax:
ftp NICIPaddress
3. Log in as root.
