Connecting the Printer to a Network
To set up printing on a UNIX system running SunOS 4 or another
BSD based variant:
1
On each workstation that will print to the printer, log in to
your UNIX host as the root user.
2
Create an entry for the printer in your /etc/printcap file.
The following is a sample printcap entry for the printer. Note that the
remote hostname you enter in the
rm
line must exactly match the
name you entered in the
/etc/hosts
file.
KX-PS8100q:\
:lp=:\
:rm=KX-PS8100:\
:rp=xjdirect:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/KX-PS8100q/log:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/KX-PS8100q:\
:mx#0:sf:sb
The spool directory
KX-PS8100q
is specified here, and the
directory itself is created in
. Similarly, the log file is specified
here and created in
. The spool directory is write-protected
(from everyone but a daemon user and daemon group); users
cannot modify or remove files other than their own.
It is possible to set up to two additional printer entries, one with the
rp
name
xjprint
and one with the name
xjhold
. The
rp
name
indicates the KX-PS8100 queue to which jobs are sent when you
print to the named printer.
A printer entry with the
rp
name
xjhold
routes all jobs to the
KX-PS8100 Hold queue. Therefore, to print those jobs, they must
be moved to the Print queue or deleted using Fiery WebSpooler.
NOTE:
•
Use the
rp
name
xjprint
if your KX-PS8100 has a hard disk, or is
configured with more than 32 MB of memory. Printers without a
hard disk drive and 32 MB of memory can not use Print or Hold
queues (
rp
name:
xjprint
and
xjhold
), they can only receive print
jobs over the Direct connection.
3
Create a spool directory for the printer in the /var/spool
directory.
For example, enter the following:
mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/KX-PS8100q
chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/KX-PS8100q
