UNIX Configuration This section explains how to set up a network printer and check print status using UNIX. Limitation To print from a UNIX workstation, use a file that the printer supports. Before Setup Setting up varies depending on the printing commands. Make sure to make settings accordingly. Using the lp / lpr commands A Use the installation shell script to register the device option, as well as the printer host name and the IP address. See p.4 "Using the Installation Shell Script". See p.13 "Printing Method". B Start printing. Using the rsh / rcp / ftp commands A Edit the host file to register the printer host name and the IP address. B Start printing. See p.13 "Printing Method". Reference See p.8 "After Executing the 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. 3 UNIX Configuration Using the Installation Shell Script 1 The installation shell script helps with the setup process. The installation shell script automates some of the tasks in configuring /etc/hosts, /etc/printcap; creating the spool directory for BSD UNIX; and running the lpadmin command for System V UNIX. Preparation The installation shell script can be used on the following workstations: (it cannot be used with other types of workstations.) · · · · · · SunOS 4.x.x Solaris 2.x(Sun OS 5.x), Solaris 7, Solaris 8, HP-UX Redhat Linux UnixWare OpenServer Note Depending on security settings when installed, rsh / rcp /telnet may not be usable with Red Hat 7.1 or later. Change the security level to allows use of rsh / rcp /telnet. For more information about how to change the setting, see the operating instructions for Red Hat. When you use NIS (Network Information Service) or DNS, you should configure the server before running the installation shell script. Installation shell script does not support CUPS. For more information about the settings of CUPS, see the manual that comes with the UNIX workstation , and the CUPS' manual. When you use Solaris and HP-UX, you can set UNIX configuration with admintools that came with Solaris and HP-UX. For more information about setting using the admintools, see the admintool's manual. Reference For more information about the configuration utility of your operating system, see the manual that came with the utility. Assigning the IP Address Preparation Configure the machine to use TCP/IP. · Make sure that TCP/IP on the machine is set to active. (Default setting is active.) · Assign an IP address to the machine and configure the other settings required for TCP/IP. 4 Using the Installation Shell Script Reference For more information about how to make the above settings, see the manual that comes with this machine. 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. 1 A Enter the following: # 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. # 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 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 installation shell script, the IP address, host name and printer name are required. The following procedures use the 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. A Log on to the workstation as root. Note If you do not log on as root, the installation shell script will not run. B Get the installation shell script from the printer. 5 UNIX Configuration 1 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 Connected to 192.168.15.16 220 printer FTP server ready. name (192.168.15.16:root:) C When a user name is requested, leave the user name field blank and press the {RETURN} ( {ENTER} ) key. } } 331 Password required for root. Password: D When a password is requested, leave the password field blank and press the {RETURN} ( {ENTER} ) key. } } 230 User root logged in. ftp> E Enter the following to get the installation shell script: ftp> get install F Close the ftp session. ftp> bye 221 Goodbye. # C Run the installation shell script. # sh ./install Note Insert a period and slash before the current directory. D Enter a number to select the workstation operating system that you are using. Network printer install shell Select your workstation OS type 1.SunOS 4.x.x 2.Solaris 2.x, Solaris 7-9 (SunOS5.x) 3.HP-UX 4.UnixWare 5.Linux 6.OpenServer 7.Quit Enter <1-7>: 2 Note SunOS, UnixWare, and OpenServer appear on the screen, but they are not supported. Use Solaris, HP-UX, or Linux. 6 If you select "7", the installation shell script ends. Using the Installation Shell Script E Enter the printer's IP address. Enter Printer host IP address [return= skip]: 192.168.15.16 Note The IP address will be added to the /etc/hosts file. 1 If the host name of the printer has already been configured, press the {RETURN} ( {ENTER} ) key. Nothing will be added to the /etc/hosts file. } } F Enter the printer's host name. Enter Printer host name : nphost Note The host name will be added to the / ...
