X CONFIGURATION
Admintool is normally used to register remote printers on Open
Windows. However, it cannot be used here, as the data recipient
and queue have the same name. The procedure below must be
used for registering a remote printer.
If Solaris 2.x is connected to the remote printer for a long period
according to the system specifications, errors and forced
disconnection may occur. Therefore, if paper tearing, off-line and
other errors result in waiting time, printing may have to be
aborted.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (known as
Solaris 8) and a C7350 printer as examples. The absolute path
and method of configuring commands may differ in other
versions of the OS. Refer to the workstation manual for more
details.
1. Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set.
2. Log in as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have
superuser rights, the network manager should conduct
the configuration.
3. Register the IP address of the network card and the host
name in /etc/hosts file.
Example: for IP Address 192.168.20.127 and host name
c7350
192.168.20.127 c7350
4. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the
network card.
Example: for host name c7350
# ping c7350
CAUTION!
If an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may
go down or other damage may occur. Configure after
consulting the network manager.
