1. Verify physical cable connections from your printer to the network. See Network
Interface Guide
2. Assign XPrint printer an IP Address at the control panel. See Appendix B
3. Add your XPrint printer’s TCP/IP address and hostname to your NIS database. For
non NIS networks, add the TCP/IP address and hostname to your machine’s
/etc/hosts table.
4. Verify IP connectivity with the UNIX “ping” command.
5. TYPE: ping <49XX_hostname> [ENTER]
