1. UNIX Configuration
This section explains how to set up a network printer and check the print status using UNIX.
Limitation
❒ To print from a UNIX workstation, use the file that the printer supports.
Before Se tup
Setting up can vary depending on the printing commands. Please make sure to make the settings accordingly.
Using the lp/lpr commands
A
Use the Installation Shell Script to register the printer host name and the IP address.
B
Start printing.
⇒ P.20 “Printing Method”
Using the rsh/rcp/ftp commands
5
A
Edit the host file to register the Printer host name and the IP address.
B
Start printing.
⇒ P.20 “Printing Method”
Reference
❒ See P.13 “After Executing Install Shell” for host file editing.
Note
❒ If you cannot edit the host file, use the install shell script to register the host name.
Using the Installation Shell Script
The instal lation sh ell scr ipt help s with the setup proce ss. The in stalla tion shell scri pt auto mates some
of the tasks in configuring /et c/ hos ts, /etc/printcap, and in creating the spool directory for BSD UNIX,
and in running lpadmin command for System V UNIX.
Preparation
❒ The installation shell script can be used on the following three kinds of workstations. This installation
shell script cannot be used with other types of workstations.
• Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, 8
• HP-UX 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, 11.0
• Red Hat Linux 6.x, 7
❒ When you use NIS (Network Informa tion Serv ice) or DNS, you shoul d configur e the server befo re
running this installation shell script.
❒ For more information abou t the confi guration utility of your OS, see the ma nual that came with the
utility.
Assigning the IP Address
6
Preparation
❒ Configure the machine to use the TCP/IP protocol.
• Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol on the machine is set to active. (The default is active.)
• Assign an IP address to the machine and configure the other settings required for using the TCP/
IP protocol.
Reference
❒ For more information about how to make the above settings, see the Administrator Reference 2.
Checking the IP address configuration
Follow the procedure below to make sure that the IP address has been configured correctly.
• The following procedure uses the sample IP address: 192.168.15.16.
A
Enter the following:
# ping 192.168.15.16
If the address has been configured correctly, the following message appears.
192.168.15.1 6 is aliv e
If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message appears.
no answer from 192. 16 8. 15 .1 6
Note
❒ When you use NIS, the IP address and host name are written to /etc/hosts on the master server.
When you use DNS, the information is written to a data file on the name server. After writing the
host name and IP ad dres s to the fi le , m ak e su re th at the c onfi gu ra tio n i s c or rec t b y pi nging the
host name.
# ping host_name
❒ If the host name is registered with an IP address, the server can access the printer using its host
name instead of its IP address.
7
Executing the Installation Shell Script
After having configured the printer IP address, follow the procedure below to execute the installation
shell script and set up the workstation printing environment.
Preparation
❒ Before executing the i nstallation shell s cript, the IP address, the host name and the print er name
are required.
❒ Following procedures use sample IP address: 192.168.15.16, sample host name: nphost and sam-
ple printer name: np.
Note
❒ Use ftp to get the installation shell script from the printer.
A
Log on to the workstation as root account.
Note
❒ If you do not log on as root, the installation shell script will not run.
B
Get the ins tallation shell script from the printer.
A Move to the directory you want to copy the installation shell script to.
B Use ftp to connect to the printer with the IP address that you just configured.
# ftp 192.168.15.16
