7. Save the configuration file.
8. Following this, you can select another file server and create more
queues for the printer to service. You can have a total of 32 queues.
9.
After all file servers have been configured, save the configuration file
and restart the print server and the printer.
Alternatively, you can use a Novell 4.x Network Administrator utility called
PCONSOLE to perform the same configuration. However, using PCONSOLE,
you will not see and select the printer on the network as you did in Step 4.
Instead, you must enter the print server printer name (TEKxxxxxx) as it is shown
on the printer's configuration page. (Refer to the topic "Printing the
configuration page" on page 9-4 for details on printing the configuration page.)
This is a brief overview of the steps you follow to configure the host and the
printer for a TCP/IP network. The Phaser Share User Manual gives the
step-by-step procedure you follow to perform this configuration. You will first
configure the host and then the printer.
Configuring the host
1.
Add the printer name to the host table (/etc/host) and assign an
Internet Protocol (IP) address to the printer's name.
2. Assign a print queue to the printer by editing the /etc/printcap file.
Configuring the printer
1.
Set the printer's IP address. This can be done through the printer's
front panel. Alternately, you can create a RARP or BOOTP
configuration file to automatically configure the printer's IP address
(although it will not be stored in the printer's NVRAM).
2. Optionally, configure the printer's TCP/IP parameters:
lpr, the host access table (if the customer site uses lpr).
AppSocket, the printer language(s) supported by the printer (if the
customer site uses AppSocket).
syslog, a system's log collect printer information for the network
administrator.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allows the system
administrator to query and control the printer's status remotely.
