1. UNIX Configuration
This section explains how to setup 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 Setup
Setting up can vary depending on the printing commands. Make sure to make
the settings accordingly.
Using the lp/lpr commands
Use the installation shell script to register the device option, as well as the
AAAA
printer host name and the IP address.
⇒ p.4 “Using the Installation Shell Script”
Start printing.
BBBB
⇒ p.14 “Printing Method”
Using the rsh/rcp/ftp commands
Edit the host file to register the printer host name and the IP address.
AAAA
Start printing.
BBBB
⇒ p.14 “Printing Method”
Reference
See p.9 “After Executing Installation Shell Script” for host file editing.
Note
❒ If you cannot edit the host file, use the install shell script to register the host
name.

UNIX Configuration
Using the Installation Shell Script
The installation shell script helps with the setup process. The installation shell
script automates some of the tasks in configuring /etc/hosts, /etc/printcap, and
in creating the spool directory for BSD UNIX, and in running the 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, 7.1, 7.2
Depending on the security setting when installed, rsh/rcp/% telnet may not
be usable with RedHat 7.1 or later. Change the security level to the level that
allows use of rsh/rcp/% telnet. For more information about how to change
the setting, see the operating instructions for RedHat.
When you use NIS (Network Information Service) or DNS, you should configure the server before running this installation shell script.
For more information about the configuration utility of your OS, see the manual that comes with the utility.
Assigning the IP Address
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 Printer
Reference.

Using the Installation Shell Script
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.
Enter the following:
AAAA
# ping 192.168.15.16
If the address has been configured correctly, the following message appears.
192.168.15.16 is alive
If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message appears.
no answer from 192.168.15.16
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 address to
the file, make sure that the configuration is correct by pinging the host
name.
1
# 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.
Executing the Installation Shell Script
After having configured the printer IP address, follow the procedure below to
execute the installation shell script and setup the workstation printing environment.
Preparation
Before executing the installation shell script, the IP address, the host name
and the printer name are required.
The following procedures use sample IP address: 192.168.15.16, sample host
name: nphost and sample printer name: np.
Note
❒ Use ftp to get the installation shell script from the printer.
Log on to the workstation as root.
AAAA
Note
❒ If you do not log on as root, the installation shell script will not run.
