6 Create and set the privileges for the spool directory specified in step 5:
mkdir path_to_this_queue’s_spool_directory
Example
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/GarysLW
chown daemon /usr/spool/lpd/GarysLW
chgrp daemon /usr/spool/lpd/GarysLW
chmod 775 /usr/spool/lpd/GarysLW
7 To test the connection, type the ping command from a workstation on the same
subnet as the printer:
ping printer_IP_name
If the ping command responds by telling you that the printer is alive on the
network, the address assignment was successful.
If the ping command does not respond, or tells you the printer was not
found, then the address assignment failed. Try the steps in this procedure
again, making sure you type the printer’s Ethernet address exactly as it
appears on the startup page. If it still doesn’t work, see the troubleshooting
suggestions in Chapter 13 of the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS User’s Manual.
8 Try printing by using this command:
lpr -P queue_name filename
Note that there’s no space between -P and queue_name.
Example
lpr -PGarysLW file.postscript
If everything is working, the pages will print. If there’s a problem, see the
troubleshooting suggestions in Chapter 13 of the Color LaserWriter 12/600
PS User’s Manual.
