Communicating Across Routers

Since Unix environments rely on TCP/IP to communicate with the ethernet,
crossing routers becomes an issue.
After you have followed one of the ethernet configuration methods mentioned
(other than the BOOTP method), most likely, you will only be able to
communicate with the print server from the same subnet. This means any
host across a router will not be able to see your ethernet. To communicate
across a router, store a default router/gateway within the print server so that
any packets destined for another subnet get forwarded to this router
automatically. The router (or series of routers) can then take over the process
of ensuring the packets get to their final destination on another subnet on your
network.
To configure a default router/gateway within the ethernet:
1. Start a Web browser on your local station and direct it to the URL:
NOTE: If prompted for a "User ID" and password first, type in root for the ID
2. At the "Network Configuration" HTML form that displays, click in the first
3. Click the SUBMIT button when done and physically repower the print

Unix Host Configuration

There may be times when you would prefer or need to perform the manual
setup steps for a new printer definition. There may also be times when you
require a less common print solution such as direct socket capabilities. This
section covers these additional setups.

Manual System V Host Setup

This setup involves any Unix operating system using System V print spooling
(e.g., SCO, Solaris
used for each defined printer and, in the case of any System V print setup
involving an ethernet, the RSHD protocol is used to transfer data from the
host to the print server.
To manually configure a new System V printer on a Unix station, create a
dummy device file that acts as a locking mechanism between contending print
jobs.
