TROY Group EtherWind 802.11b - Manual (Page 33)

UNIX Network
Configuration
The EtherWind print server appears to the network as a UNIX host computer with a
unique IP address running the line printer daemon (lpd) protocol. As a result, any
host computer that supports the Berkeley remote-LPR command can spool jobs to
the print server without the need for any special software on the host computer.
Important Note:
Before configuring a UNIX print queue, the EtherWind must have a valid IP
address.
Berkeley UNIX Host Configuration
Berkeley UNIX host computers include Linux, Digital Equipment Corporation
Digital UNIX, OSF/1, and ULTRIX; Compaq Tru64 UNIX; SunOS (not
Solaris), SCO UNIX; and many others. Sun Solaris, HP/UX, IBM AIX users
should skip to the appropriate sections later in this manual.
Important Note:
Do not use the Linux X-Windows graphical user interface printer configuration
utility, because it does not work with TROY print servers. Instead, Linux users
should follow the configuration steps listed in this section.
Important Note:
SCO UNIX users should use the rlpconf command to create a printer and auto-
matically configure the /etc/printcap file (you will still need to edit the /etc/hosts
file). Enter the print server's service name (XCD_xxxxxx_P1) as the name of the
printer (refer to the print server self-test for the exact name of this service), and
enter the name of the print server that you assigned in the /etc/hosts file as the
remote host name; note that because this name must be unique for each print-
er, we recommend using the XCD_xxxxxx_P1 service instead of the normal
BINARY_P1 service.
1. Edit the /etc/hosts file: (or equivalent local host table). For example:
192.189.207.33 xcdprinter
