Connecting the Printer to a Network

4

Create the log files.

For example, enter the following:

cp /dev/null /var/spool/lpd/KX-PS8100q/log

5

Reboot the machine.

To set up printing on a UNIX system running Solaris 2:

1

On each workstation that will print to the printer, log into
the UNIX system as the root user.

2

At the UNIX prompt, type lpsystem -t bsd KX-PS8100

This tells your system that the printer is a print server of

bsd

(Berkeley Software Distribution) type.

3

Type lpadmin -p KX-PS8100q -s KX-PS8100\!xjdirect

This command creates an internal queue on the workstation and
points it to the printer. The general format of this command is:

lpadmin -p <queue name> -s <hostname>\!xjdirect

NOTE:

The name

xjdirect

after the exclamation point is for configuring

the printer; it is an internal name that the printer requests. It must
be

xjdirect

; it is not a user-selectable name. This is the only place

where it is entered.

As with SunOS 4 or other BSD based systems, when printing to
printers with a hard disk and a minimum of 32 MB of memory it is
possible to configure up to two additional printer entries, one with
the

rp

name

xjprint

and one with the

rp

name

xjhold

(

see page 77

).

4

Type accept KX-PS8100q

This command tells the printer to accept print requests from your
workstation. You are now ready to print from the workstation to the
printer.

5

Type enable KX-PS8100q
