Using a Web Browser
If the print server is connected to the network using TCP/IP, its
settings and the printer menu settings can be configured using a
Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 4.0 and
higher, or Netscape Navigator version 4.0 and higher. No
guarantees are offered for other browsers. Refer to the relevant
manuals for details of how to launch and use the browser.
The network addresses used in this manual are shown as examples
only. Network addresses used in your installation must be
generated from your own network. To apply configuration changes
using a Web browser, you will be prompted for a username and
password.The username is [root] and the default password is the
last six digits of the Ethernet address.
The following explanation uses Windows 95 and Microsoft Internet

Using TELNET
The OkiLAN can be configured using TELNET. TELNET requires the
OkiLAN to have a valid IP address configured. If the NIC already
has an IP address configured, skip steps one to three below.
>Note: Please ensure that a valid IP address for you network
environment is used. Use of an incorrect IP address can cause
serious problems on your network.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.4 as an example. The
method of configuring commands may differ between
workstations. Refer to the workstation’s manual.
1.Login as [root].
If you do not have Superuser rights, the network manager should
run the configuration.
2.Set a temporary IP Address on the NIC using the ARP
command.
Example: for IP address 172.168.20.127 and network card address
00:80:92:01:00:D2
# arp –s 172.168.20.127 00:80:92:01:00:D2 temp
The Ethernet address (MAC address) is displayed during the
self-diagnostic test. A temporary address does not need to be set
if an IP address has already been set.
3.Use the PING command to confirm the connection with the
network card.
Example: for IP address 172.168.20.127
# ping 172.168.20.127
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the
IP address (the IP address has been already set manually or by the
DHCP/RARP server), or with the network. Reset the network

interface card settings to default and try to set temporary IP
address. If you still have the problem after resetting the network
interface card, consult the network manager.
4.Login to the network card using TELNET.
Example: for IP address 172.168.20.127

Overview
This chapter provides guidelines on how to print over the network
from various Microsoft Windows platforms. There are numerous
ways of printing from Windows and the exact set-up will vary
depending upon your environment. There are also numerous
versions of Windows, which can be configured as either a client,
server or both.
Although there are many variants of Windows, the principles of
network printing are the same. Microsoft provides on-line help with
all of their operating systems and this is a good reference point for
the exact details of each configuration option within Windows.
The network printer supports the following protocols that can be
used in conjunction with the Windows operating system:
>TCP/IP
>NetBEUI

Installation of TCP/IP Protocol
There are a number of options available when printing using TCP/
IP for Windows. The following table lists the options:

These functions are built into Windows and are displayed as options when using the Add Printer
Wizard.
Although there are some differences in configuration options
between the various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing
using TCP/IP is the same.
1.Ensure that the TCP/IP protocol has been installed in
Windows. This can be confirmed by checking the network
settings from within the Control Panel. If TCP/IP has not
been installed refer to the section below Installation of TCP/
IP protocol.

2.If not already configured, a suitable IP address, Subnet
Mask and Gateway address should be configured. Please
refer to the on-line help if necessary. It is vital that the IP
address entered is unique and valid. Entering an incorrect IP
address may cause severe network problems. Please check
the address with the network administrator.
3.If your network environment uses domain names, DNS
should be enabled and configured on your system. However,
this step is not essential to enable network printing.
4.Restart the operating system.

NetBEUI Protocol
NetBEUI is a protocol that was designed for use on small
workgroups or LANs. Within Windows, NetBEUI is used for file and
printer sharing between computers. It provides a simple method of
printing, but the protocol does have limitations and is not as robust
as TCP/IP or IPX. Typically it is employed in small or home
networks.
Network Printer Settings
There are three configurable items under NetBEUI within the
printer. These can be configured using the standard set-up utility
described in Chapter 1.
Computer Name:Name assigned to the printer
Workgroup:
Comment:User definable description
1
Although the workgroup name can be changed, it is recommended that it remain PrintServer.
PrintServer
Although there are some differences in configuration options
between the various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing
using NetBEUI is the same.

UNIX
Overview
The OkiLAN print server supports many protocols such as LPD, FTP,
TELNET, SNMP and IPP, and works within the UNIX environment.
To use the network card within the UNIX environment, the
following steps are required:
Configuration
Network Interface card setting
The first step in installing the network card under UNIX is to set up
the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. This section explains
one way to set them up from a UNIX workstation.
>The network addresses used in this manual are shown as
examples only. Network addresses used in your installation
must be generated for your own network.
>Log in as [root] to change the configuration of the Print
Server. By default, there is no root password.
>If an incorrect IP address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is
entered, the network may go down or other damage may
occur. Check the address with your network manager.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (Solaris 8) as an
example. The actual commands may differ between versions of
UNIX, so refer to the workstation manuals for more information.
1.Log in as root to the workstation
If you do not have superuser rights, the network manger
should conduct the configuration.
2.If the print server does not have an IP addresses already
assigned, use the arp command to set a temporary IP
address.
OkiLAN 8300e Network User’s Guide
UNIX - 83
Example: for IP address 172.68.20.127 and network card
address 00:80:92:01:00:D2
# arp –s 172.168.20.127 00:80:92:01:00:D2 temp
The Ethernet address (MAC address) 00:80:92:01:00:D2 in
the above example can be determined from the network card
self-diagnostic test which can be printed by pressing the
push-button on the network card for two seconds and then
releasing it.
3.Use the ping command to confirm the connection with the
network interface card.
Example: for IP address 172.168.20.127
# ping 172.168.20.127
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration
of the IP address (the IP address has been already set
manually or by the DHCP/RARP server), or with the network.
Reset the network interface card settings to default and try
to set temporary IP address.
If you still have the problem after resetting the network
interface card, consult the network manager.
4.Log in to the network interface card using TELNET.
Example: Logging in to IP address 172.168.20.127
#telnet 172.168.20.127
Trying 172.168.20.127
Connected to 172.168.20.127
Escape character is ‘^]’.

Operating System Configuration
This section explains how to configure a printer for major UNIX
operating systems.
Sun OS 4.x.x (BSD) configuration
The following explanation uses Sun OS 4.1.3 and an OKI printer as
examples. The absolute path of commands and the configuration
method may differ between OS versions, so refer to the
workstation manuals for more information.
If an incorrect IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered, the
network may go down or other damage may occur. Check the
address with the network manager and confirm that the IP address
of the printer has been set.
1.Log in as [root] to the workstation.
If you do not have Superuser rights, the network manager
should conduct the configuration.
OkiLAN 8300e Network User’s Guide
UNIX - 86
2.Register the IP address of the network card and the host
name in the /etc/hosts file.
Example: for IP address 172.168.20.127 and host name
PRINTER
172.168.20.127 PRINTER
3.Use the ping command to confirm connection with the
network card.
Example: for host name PRINTER
# ping PRINTER
If there is no reply, then there is a problem with the
configuration of the IP address (the IP address has been
already set manually or by the DHCP/RARP server) or with
the network. Reset the network interface card settings to
their defaults and then try to set a temporary IP address. If
you still have the problem after resetting the network
interface card, consult the network manager.
4.Register the printer in the /etc/printcap file.
Example: for host name PRINTER, to create a queue called
PRINTER_lp
PRINTER_lp: \
:lp=:rm=C7400:rp=lp:\
:sd=/usr/spool/PRINTER_lp:\
:lf=/usr/spool/PRINTER_lp/OKIPRINTER_lp_errs:
PRINTER_lp The name of the printer queue
lp: The name of the device used to connect to the printer.
Does not need to be specified for a remote machine.
OkiLAN 8300e Network User’s Guide
UNIX - 87
rm: The name of the host of the remote printer. This should
be the same as the name added to the /etc/hosts file.
rp: The name of the printer on the remote printer. It should
be lp.
sd: The spool directory. Give the absolute path.
lf: The error log file. Give the absolute path.
5.Create the spool directory and error log file.
Example: for spool Directory PRINTER_lp and Error Log file
OKIPRINTER_lp_errs
# mkdir /usr/spool/PRINTER_lp
#touch/usr/spool/PRINTER_lp/PRINTER _lp_errs
# chown –R daemon /usr/spool/PRINTER_lp
# chgrp –R # daemon /usr/spool/PRINTER_lp
6.Check that lpd (printer daemon) is activated.
# ps aux | grep lpd
7.If lpd is not running,start it by logging in as superuser and
executing
# /usr/lib/lpd &
Sun Solaris 2.x configuration
Admintool is normally used to register remote printers on Open
Windows. However, it cannot be used here, as the data recipient
and queue have the same name. The procedure below must be
used for registering a remote printer.
If Solaris 2.x is connected to the remote printer for a long period
according to the system specifications, errors and forced
disconnection may occur. Therefore, if paper tearing, off-line and
OkiLAN 8300e Network User’s Guide
UNIX - 88
other errors result in waiting time, printing may have to be
aborted.
If an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or
other damage may occur. Configure after consulting the network
manager.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (known as Solaris
8) and an OKI printer as examples. The absolute path and method
of configuring commands may differ in other versions of the OS.
Refer to the workstation manual for more details.
1.Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set.
2.Log in as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have
superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the
configuration.
3.Register the IP address of the network card and the host
name in /etc/hosts file.
Example: for IP Address 172.168.20.127 and host name
PRINTER
172.168.20.127PRINTER
4.Use the ping command to confirm connection with the
network card.
Example: for host name PRINTER
# ping PRINTER
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration
of the IP address (the IP address has been already set
manually or by the DHCP/RARP server), or with the network.
Reset the network interface card settings to default and try
to set temporary IP address. If you still have the problem
after resetting the network interface card, consult the
network manager.
OkiLAN 8300e Network User’s Guide
UNIX - 89
5.Register the network card as a remote printer server.
Example: for host name PRINTER
a.Stop the print scheduler.
# usr/sbin/lpshut
b.Create the printer queue.
# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p PRINTER_lp -v /dev/null \
m netstandard -o dest=PRINTER:lp
-o protocol=bsd
c.Start the print scheduler.
# /usr/sbin/lpsched
d.Activate the print queue.
# /usr/sbin/accept PRINTER_lp
e.Enable the print queue
# /bin/enable PRINTER_lp
To customize output, for example to add additional commands at
the start of each print job, you can edit a copy of the netstandard
model file then add it using the lpadmin command
Example: for printer PRINTER_lp, with model file called
PRINTER0_model
If an incorrect IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered, the
network may go down or other damage may occur. Check the
address with the network manager.
The following example uses HP-UX10.20 and an OKI printer as
examples. The absolute path and method of configuring commands
may differ in other versions of the OS. Refer to the workstation
manual for more details.
1.Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set. See
network interface card IP address configuration for more
information.
2.Log in as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have
superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the
configuration.
3.Register the IP Address of the network card and the host
name in the /etc/hosts file.
Example: for IP Address 172.168.20.127 and host name
PRINTER
172.168.20.127 PRINTER
4.Use the ping command to confirm connection with the
network card.
Example: for host name PRINTER

LPD Printing
Line Printer Daemon (LPD) is the most common protocol for
printing with TCP/IP to a network printer. Refer to the
workstation’s manual for details of lpr and lp commands. The
following explanation in this section uses the printing of print file
test.prn with printer name PRINTER_lp as an example.
Logical printers
The OkiLAN print server includes three logical printers.
>lp must be used for printing a file created using the printer
driver.
>sjis must be used for printing a text file of Shift JIS Kanji
code.
>euc must be used for the printing a text file of the EUC Kanji
code.

sjisFor Shift JIS Kanji converted output
eucFor EUC Kanji converted output
>sjis and euc function only as PostScript printers.
BSD-based UNIX
Print using the lpr command.
# lpr –PCprinter_lp test.prn
If the lprm command is used, the print job is cancelled.
Example: To delete a print job (Job ID 123) on the
okiprinter_lp
# lprm –PCprinter_lp 123
Verify the printer status using the lpq command.
>The result of lpq may not be displayed correctly depending on
UNIX operating system specification.
>While the short format of lpq is a UNIX compatible format, the
long format is unique to the OkiLAN print server.
Example of the short format: # lpq –PCprinter_lp
Example of the long format: # lpq –l -PCprinter_lp
System V-based UNIX
Print using the lp command.
# lp –d Cprinter_lp test.prn
Delete a print job using cancel command.
Example: To delete a print job (Job ID 456) in the printer_lp

UNIX - 96
# cancel Cprinter_lp -456
Verify the printer status using the lpstat command.
# lpstat –pCprinter_lp
>The result of lpstat may not be displayed correctly depending
on UNIX operating system specification (e.g. Solaris 2.x).
FTP printing
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring a file with TCP/
IP. If the print data is sent to a logical printer via FTP, it is printed.
Refer to the workstation’s manual for details of the ftp command.
The following explanation uses print file test.prn with printer name
okiprinter_lp as an example.
Logical directories
The OkiLAN print server includes three logical directories.
lp must be used for printing a file created using the printer
driver.
sjis must be used for printing a text file of Shift JIS Kanji
code.
euc must be used for the printing a text file of the EUC Kanji
code

1.Login to the network interface card.
When printing with ftp, use any values for name and
password. However, if the user name is [root], the password
set under TELNET or the utility are required. See the
appropriate section for details.
Example: Logging in with host name printer (or IP address
172.168.20.127).
# ftp printer (or ftp 172.168.20.127

The network card logical directory structure is hierarchical.
Move to the logical directory; it is not possible to output print
data to the root directory.
2.Move to the preferable logical directory using the cd
command.
Example: moving to the lp directory and confirming the
current directory.
ftp> cd /lp
250 Command OK.
ftp> pwd

3.Configure the transfer mode
There are two types of transfer mode: BINARY mode, in
which the file contents are output as it is and ASCII mode,
which converts the LF code to the CR+LF code. If a binary file
converted by the printer driver is transferred, the transfer
mode has to be BINARY mode.
Example: changing transfer mode to binary mode and
verifying the current mode
ftp> type binary
200 Type set to I.
ftp> type
Using binary mode to transfer files.

4.Transfer the print data to the network card using the put
command. Two methods of file transfer using the put
command are available.
Example: transferring print data test.prn
ftp> put test.prn
Example: transferring print data specified by absolute path/
users/test/test.prn
ftp> put /users/test/test.prn /lp
5.Logout from the network card using the quit command
ftp> quit

Three states can be verified using the quote command stat:
the IP address, login user name and transfer mode. In
addition, printer status can be verified by specifying the
directory after the stat (lp, sjis, euc).
Example: displaying network card status
ftp> quote stat
211-FTP server status:
Connected to: 172.168.20.10.000.00
User logged in: root
Transfer type: BINARY
Data connection: Closed.
211 End of status.

Example: displaying the network card status (directory
