Unix Printing

Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP

Overview

Pitney Bowes Print/Fax servers are supplied with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Since virtually all UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet network. As with all protocols, TCP/IP communications can proceed concurrently while other protocols are active, this means that UNIX, NetWare, Apple, and other computers can share the same Pitney Bowes print server over an Ethernet network.

The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as standard Berkeley UNIX systems. Refer to this chapter for a typical GUI based Linux installation.

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control panel. For more information, see APIPA on page 10-9. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the machine.

To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see

Chapter 11

The default password for the Print/Fax servers is

BRN_xxxxxx

When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.

TCP/IP

Pitney Bowes Print/Fax servers appear to the network as a UNIX host computer with a unique IP address running the lpd (line printer daemon) protocol. As a result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool jobs to Pitney Bowes print servers without the need for any special software on the host computer. For special applications, raw TCP ports are also available.

Pitney Bowes Print/Fax servers also support the FTP protocol. This protocol can be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.

The Pitney Bowes Print/Fax server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with a minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration of the Print/Fax server is the allocation of an IP address, which can be either automatically assigned using DHCP, BOOTP etc., or manually assigned using the ARP command, BRAdmin Professional utility, or the machine control panel.

For setting the IP address of the Print/Fax server, see

Chapter 11

of this user guide or the Quick Setup Guide

General TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration

The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the following steps. As this process varies, we recommend that you refer to your system documentation for additional information.

Configure the to communicate with the Print/Fax server. Use your favorite editor to add an entry to the address and node name of the device. For example:

192.189.207.3 BRN_310107

/etc/hosts

/etc/hosts

file containing the IP

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 2

The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries in the

The node name in this file does not necessarily need to be the same as the one that is actually configured into the Pitney Bowes Print/Fax server (the name that appears on the network configuration page), however, it is good practice to make the names the same. Some operating systems, such as HP-UX, do not accept the “_” character in the default name, for these systems you must use a different name).

/etc/hosts

file.

In any case, the node name in the node name in the

Some systems such as HP-UX and AIX allow you to enter the IP address as the host name when setting up the print queue. If this is the case, you do not need to configure the hosts file.

Choose which Print/Fax server service you want to use. There are several types of services available on Pitney Bowes Print/ Fax servers. Binary services pass data through unmodified and are therefore required for PCL or PostScript rasterized graphics printouts. Text services add a carriage return at the end of each line for proper formatting of UNIX text files (which end in linefeed and do not have carriage returns). The text service can also be used for non-rasterized graphics, such as ASCII PostScript graphics or many types of PCL graphics.

Choose one of the available services (a service name will be used in step 3):

BINARY_P1 Binary data TEXT_P1 Text data (CR added)

You may set up multiple print queues on your UNIX host computer for the same Print/Fax server, each one with a different service name (for example, one queue for binary graphics jobs and one for text jobs).

/etc/printcap

/etc/hosts

file must match the

1 - 3 UNIX PRINTING

Configure the

/etc/printcap

file on each host computer to specify the local print queue, the Print/Fax server name (also called remote machine or rm), and the Print/Fax server service name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory.

This step applies to the majority of UNIX systems, including Linux, Sun OS (but not Solaris 2.xx), Silicon Graphics (lpr/lpd option required), DEC ULTRIX, DEC OSF/1, and Digital UNIX. SCO UNIX users should follow these steps, but should also see

SCO UNIX Configuration

on page 1-10. Users of RS/6000 AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris 2.xx, and other systems that do not use the printcap file should skip to Step 4. SCO user's should also skip to Step 4 (SCO uses the printcap file, but this file is automatically configured via the rlpconf command).

An example of a typical printcap file:

laser1|Printer on Floor 1:\ :lp=:\ :rm=BRN_310107:\ :rp=TEXT_P1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser1:

Make sure this information is added to the end of the printcap file. Also make sure that the last character in the printcap file is a colon “:”.

This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer that communicates to a Pitney Bowes print server with a node name (rm) of BRN_310107 and a service name (rp) of TEXT_P1 printing text files to a Pitney Bowes printer through spool directory

/usr/spool/lpd/laser1

. If you are printing binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1 instead of TEXT_P1.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 4

The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX systems, so if necessary check your documentation to determine the equivalent options.

Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems can use the lpc command to obtain the printer status:

%lpc status laser1: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries no daemon present

Users of AT&T-compatible UNIX systems can generally use the lpstat or rlpstat commands to obtain similar status information. Because this procedure varies from system to system, refer to your system documentation for the exact usage.

Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have an SCO UNIX system.

If you have an HP-UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun Solaris 2.xx, there is no printcap file. This is also true for some other AT&T-based UNIX systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP software packages (for example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.). On SCO systems, there is a printcap file, but it is automatically configured by the rlpconf command. Most of these systems generally use a printer setup program to define the service name (remote printer), the print server name (remote machine) or IP address, and the local queue name (spool directory). Refer to the appropriate section depending on your version of Unix.

Click OK to configure the printer.

You should now be able to print using the lp-d command with the printer name.

If you are using the HP distributed print service, the configuration procedure is slightly different because you are sending the print jobs to a file server, which in turn spools the job to the Print/Fax server. You must therefore know the name of the file server (spooler host) in addition to the above information. You will add a physical and a remote printer, and then assign a logical printer to the remote printer (a unique name that does not match any other name). To print, use the lp -d command with the logical printer name.

If you have not created a spool directory for the Pitney Bowes Print/ Fax server on your UNIX host computer, you will need to do so now (the printer setup utilities in HP/UX, AIX, Solaris 2.xx, and other systems will automatically create the spool directory). The lpd spool directory is usually located in the your system manager to see if the location is different for your system). To create a new spool directory, use the For example, to create a spool directory for the queue laser1, you would enter:

TCP/IP Printing

Printing from Windows NT®4.0, Windows® 2000/XP, LAN Server and Warp Server

Overview

Users of Windows NT®4.0 can print directly to a network-ready Pitney Bowes machine using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows NT protocol. Windows directly to the printer without installing any additional software. Pitney Bowes's print server also supports transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server file servers, as well as from OS/ 2 Warp Connect workstations using the TCP/IP protocol.

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control panel. For more information, see APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Pitney Bowes Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control panel of the machine, the BRAdmin Professional utility, software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the machine.

Microsoft's Windows® 95/98/Me operating systems feature built-in networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network environment.

For smaller networks, Windows operate in a peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a central file server.

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control panel. For more information, see APIPA on page 10-9. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Pitney Bowes Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192.

Print Server Configuration

In order for this function to work, you must correctly change the DOMAIN name or WORKGROUP name to match that of your network. Once this is done, the Print/Fax server will appear automatically in your network neighborhood and you will be able to send print documents to it without having to install additional software. However, in some instances you may find that your Windows receive “Printer is busy” error messages when more than one person attempts to access the printer. In this instance Pitney Bowes has provided the “Pitney Bowes NetBIOS Port Monitor” software which allows users to continue spooling print jobs while the printer is busy, down or out of paper. The port monitor will hold the jobs until the printer is again available.

When you install Windows workgroup you belong to. The default workgroup name for Windows 95/98/Me is you want. With Windows “Domains”. A domain offers centralized security management whereas a workgroup offers distributed security management. The Print/Fax server does not care if your network consists of a Workgroup or a Domain, the only thing you must tell it is the name of the workgroup or domain. The Pitney Bowes Print/Fax server automatically has a default workgroup/domain name of If you need to change name, you can configure the Pitney Bowes print server to recognize this. There are three ways of doing this. (If you are unsure about the name of your workgroup or domain, look in the identification tab in your network applet).

Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via Windows

Pitney Bowes Internet Print General Information

The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows® 95/98/Me/

2000/XP and Windows NT port on the Windows

4.0 Installation Wizard. It creates a virtual

95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 PC that operates in a similar way to the standard LPT1 printer port from the application program point of view. The user can use the

Windows

4.0-compatible printer. Any

program can therefore print to this printer (and hence to the virtual port) without modification or operational procedure.

When a job is printed to the BIP virtual port, it is actually MIMEencoded (converted to a standard Internet E-mail message) and sent out to a Pitney Bowes Print/Fax server at the remote location. This means that BIP is compatible with most common E-mail software packages. The only requirement is that the E-mail server be capable of sending E-mail message over the Internet.

In more detail, the procedure works in the following way:

■

If you are connected to a Local Area Network, the E-mail message is passed to the E-mail server, which in turn transmits the message out over the Internet using the SMTP protocol (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) to the remote Print/Fax server.

■

If you are connecting via a modem directly to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), the ISP handles the routing of the E-mail to the remote Print/Fax server.

CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS® 5 - 2

■

At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message. The remote Print/Fax server, which has its own E-mail address, uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to download the E-mail message from the E-mail server. It then decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer.

Pitney Bowes Internet Print: Configuring the Pitney Bowes Print/Fax Server

The Print/Fax server can be configured using BRAdmin Professional utility or by using a web browser.

Print Server Configuration Checklist

Before configuring the print server to receive BIP jobs, be sure that the E-mail server at the remote site (the receiving end) is configured to handle the TCP/IP, POP3, and SMTP protocols (SMTP is only required if the notification feature is enabled).

Configure the POP3 server on the E-mail server at the remote site with a mail account (Mailbox name) and password for the Print/Fax server (generally, the mail account name will be the first part of the Email address; for example, if you assign the Email address emailprinter@xyz.com, then the mail account name would be emailprinter).

Make sure that the Print/Fax server is installed and running with TCP/IP enabled and has a valid IP address assigned to it.

Because access to the E-mail server on most networks is usually restricted, you may need to have your network administrator check the configuration and add the mail account.

How to Configure Novell NetWare Printing

Overview

Pitney Bowes Print/Fax servers allow NetWare client PCs to print jobs on the same printer as TCP/IP or other network protocol users. All NetWare jobs are spooled through the Novell server and delivered to the printer when it is available.

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control panel. For more information, see APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Pitney Bowes Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the machine.

General Information

In order to use a Pitney Bowes Print/Fax server on a NetWare network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the Print/Fax server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate Netware Print Server) to the appropriate Pitney Bowes Print/Fax server.

The system administrator can create Bindery (NetWare 3), NDS (NetWare 3 and NetWare 4) based queues in a single environment without having to switch between applications by using the BRAdmin Professional utility.

NetWare 5 users wishing to configure an NDPS printer must use the NWADMIN application supplied with NetWare 5. Please note that it is possible to create IPX BINDERY or NDS based queues on a NetWare 5 system using the BRAdmin Professional utility.

You must install the Novell NetWare Client 32 if you wish to create queue information on your NetWare servers using the BRAdmin Professional utility.

If you can't use the BRAdmin Professional utility in your environment, you can create the queue using the traditional NetWare PCONSOLE utility or NWADMIN utilities, but you will then also need to use a WWW browser to configure the Print/Fax server.

Pitney Bowes Print/Fax servers can service up to 16 file servers and 32 queues.

Creating a NDPS Printer Using NWADMIN for NetWare5

With NetWare 5, Novell has released a new preferred printing system called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS). Before the Print/Fax server can be configured, NDPS must be installed on the NetWare 5 server and an NDPS Manager configured on the server.

NDPS Manager

This creates a NDPS manager that interacts with services running at the server and manages an unlimited number of printer agents.

You have to create an NDPS manager within an NDS tree before creating server-based printer agents. If the NDPS manager controls a printer attached directly to the server, you must load the manager on the server that the printer is attached to.

Printing From a Macintosh® Using AppleTalk and TCP/IP or Simple Network Configuration Capabilities

This chapter explains how to configure the PostScript driver on a Network. For more information on how to configure the default Quick Draw driver on a Network, see the Quick Setup Guide included with the machine.

Overview

Pitney Bowes print servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk). This allows Macintosh users to print at the same time as all other Ethernet network using the AppleTalk (also referred to as EtherTalk) protocol.

With the release of System 8.6 or later, Apple introduced a TCP/IP printing capability. This allows Macintosh using the TCP/IP protocol.

With the release of OS/X 10.2, Apple introduced support for Simple Network Configuration capabilities. Simple Network Configuration supports automatic network configuration. If you choose to use the Simple Network Configuration of your product, you usually do not need to configure any IP address settings yourself.

for Workgroups 3.11 in a peer-topeer configuration if the printer will be heavily used. This is because jobs may be rejected due to print spooler timeouts. The best solution in these situations is to set up one PC as a server for handling network print jobs. All of the other PCs send their print jobs to the server PC using NetBEUI or TCP/ IP, and the server PC then uses DLC to send the print jobs to the Pitney Bowes print server.

10 - 2 FRONT PANEL SETUP MENU

RARP

Pitney Bowes Print / Fax server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following:

00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN_310107

Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the Print / Fax server and the second entry is the name of the Print / Fax server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).

If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command:

ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

The Pitney Bowes Print / Fax server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is powered on.

BOOTP

BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the “#” in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:

#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i

Depending on the system, this entry might be called “bootps” instead of “bootp”.

FRONT PANEL SETUP MENU10 - 3

In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the “#” (if there is no “#”, then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the Print / Fax server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your system documentation to determine how to enter this information (many UNIX systems also have template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include:

BRN_310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3

and:

BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\ ip=192.189.207.3:

Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.

As with rarp, the Print / Fax server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the

machine

is powered on.

DHCP

4.0 or Novell Netware network) the Print / Fax server

2000/XP,

will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

If you do not want your Print / Fax server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD to static, this will prevent the Print / Fax server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the front panel, Web browser or by using the BRAdmin application.

10 - 4 FRONT PANEL SETUP MENU

IP Address

This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have selected a BOOT Method of STATIC, enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network manager for the IP address to use). If you have selected a method other than STATIC, the machine will attempt to determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of the Pitney Bowes network board in your machine will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your network manager for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.
