53 6. UNIX System Network.
54 6.1 Introduction The print ser ver is avail abl e for TCP/IP printing by Unix LPD (Line Printer Da e mon) protocol. The LPD protocol originated with Unix release is based on the BSD version of Unix and supported under most ve rsions of Unix.
55 6.2 Enable Print Server’s TCP /IP Support The default conf iguration of the print server is with TCP/IP support enabled. An yway, you can configure the print ser ver to enable TCP/IP support using th e configuration program .
56 6.3 Setup Print Server’s IP Address The print server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by the networ k. You can set up the IP addr ess on the various Unix systems using any one of the following m ethod s: 1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Conf iguration Protocol) 2.
57 services before doing the f o llowing BOOTP configuration. To rebuild th e NIS map, pl ease refer to your system documentation. To conf igure t he IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will need to log in the ho st o f BOOTP server as the superuser (root).
58 For example , a print server w ith the fo llowing configuration: Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this im plies Ethernet address is 0000B40 10101), IP address: 203.66.191. 12 The entry for this print server in the /etc/bootptab file should be: PS010101: :ht=1: :ha=0000B4010101: :ip=203.
59 6.4 Verify Print Server’s IP Address To verify that your print se rver is respond ing to th e newly assigned IP addres s using a PING command: ping i p-a ddre ss.
60 6.5 Configure Remo te L PD Printing on the Host The procedure you use to co nfigure your Uni x host(s) to allow printing to your networ k remote prin t server varies between different var ieties of Unix. The procedure below can be us ed for Unix variants that are related to B SD Unix, such as SunOS or Linux.
61 mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pse rverd chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pser verd 3. Add an entry to the host’ s /etc/printcap file, similar to the f ollowing: printer-name: :lp= : :rm=203.
62 The print server should now be availabl e for printing from your Unix host..
