Chapter5 Adding Printers In Unix/Linux; Configuring Host File; Printing By Lpd/Lpr; Using The Server On Bsd Unix/Linux - Digitus DN-13007 User Manual

Chapter5
This chapter describes how to add network printers to Unix/Linux PC.
5.1

Configuring Host File

If using IP administration system like DNS, manually registering the Host Name and IP
address may be not required. Otherwise, you have to edit hosts file and contact your
network administrator.
1. Log in to Linux machine by "root".
# login root
2. Register Digitus DN-13007 MFP server's Host Name and IP address to /etc/hosts
file.
To edit host file, use an editor, e.g. "vi".
Example: The IP address is "192.168.1.100", Host Name is "DN-13007"
192.168.1.1 dns # DNS Server
192.168.1.2 mail # Mail Server
192.168.1.100 DN-13007 # MFP-Server
3. Switch on the MFP server. Verify the network connection by using ping
command.
# ping DN-13007
If there is no response or error is indicated, there may be problems with IP
address configuration, host file editing or network status. Please contact your
network administrator.
5.2

Printing by LPD/LPR

This section explains how to print using LPD protocol of TCP/IP.
For further information on "lpr" and "lp" commands, refer to your workstation manual.
LPD Protocol: LPD (Line Printer Daemon) is a protocol that enables you to execute
printing to a printer on the network.
Remote-Printer Queue: Digitus DN-13007 has two remote printer queues USB1_LQ
and USB2_LQ with respect to USB port 1 and UB port2.
To print files using a printer driver, use "lp" or "lpr".
5.3

Using the Server on BSD UNIX/Linux

1. Log in to the BSD Unix machine through "root".
# login root
2. Register the Digitus DN-13007 MFP server to /etc/printcap file.
Example: To register the printer of USB1 port by the printer name "Printer1".
