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.

Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer configuration questions if you provide them with the equivalent UNIX configuration information (tell them that the Print/ Fax server looks like a remote UNIX host computer running the lpd line printer daemon).

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 12

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:

mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laser1

On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is done on Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems with the command as shown in the following example:

lpc start laser1

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.
