Unix; First, Configure The Ip Address On The Nic; Second, Set Up Your Printing Mode - NEC Super Script 4400 Maintenance Manual

UNIX

Here we provide basic instructions for installing the printer on your UNIX system in Solaris 2.x and SCO. For
additional information, refer to your operating system administration manuals.

First, Configure the IP Address on the NIC

The printer NIC must be assigned an IP address and routing parameters. We suggest you use the instructions on
page xx for using the printer Operator Panel to set the Net (IP) Address.

Second, Set Up Your Printing Mode

Use these instructions to set up printer-based lpd for SCO UNIX remote printers and Solaris 2.x.
Installing the Printer in Your System
lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network,
without the need to install software on your workstation, and with all filtering and banners done by the NIC.
Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.
The process begins when the lpr call finds a printer on a remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the
/etc/printcap file for that printer. lpr handles a print job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the
lpd process on the remote system and sending the data file (followed by the control file containing control
information for this job) to the remote system. The printer-based lpd then filters the data and prints the job
according to information contained in the control file and its own printcap file.
The following sections give specific lpd setup instructions for various systems. You must log in as a superuser in
order to execute the commands.
Adding a SuperScript 4400N to Solaris 2.x
Log into your system as root. Add the printer's IP address you already assigned into the /etc/hosts file. Using
lpsystem: follow these steps to open a terminal and enter the printer's IP address from the command line.
1. lpsystem -t bsd <IP address of printer> [ENTER]
Enter the NIC print server host name from the
/etc/hosts file. Your system may want its IP address instead of the remote host name.
2. lpadmin -p <printername> -s <remote host name or IP address>!PORT1 [ENTER]
note:
There is no space after the remote host name.
3. Enable<printername> [ENTER]
4. Accept<printername> [ENTER]
Then, make sure that hte printer content type is set toPS" by typing lpstat -p -l to display the current printer
settings. If it is not set to PS, type the following on the command line to chage the printer settins.
5. lpadmin -p <printername> -I ps [ENTER]
6. lpadmin -p <printername> -T PS [ENTER]
To test that the printer was installed into the system, send a print job using any application in your operating
system. Make sure that the printer you choose is the SuperScript 4400N that you installed earlier.
