Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS - Manual (Page 84)

Configuring Sun OS version 4.1, Ultrix, A/UX, or other BSD systems
1 Log in as root .
2 Assign an IP address and IP name to the printer, as described in “Step 3: Assigning an
IP Address to the Printer,” earlier in this chapter.
3 Make sure the printer’s IP name and address are entered in the /etc/hosts file.
If you’re using Network Information Service (NIS), see the NIS manual for
instructions on setting up an IP name and address.
4 Make sure the lpd daemon is running on the Sun-OS or Ultrix system by typing the
following command at the UNIX prompt:
ps aux | grep lpd
If the lpd daemon is running, you should see output similar to
root 135 0.0 0.0 52 0 ? IW Oct 17 0:01 /usr/lib/lpd
If the lpd daemon is not running, you will not see any output, and you
should start the daemon by logging in as root and typing this command at
the UNIX prompt:
/usr/lib/lpd
You can verify that the daemon is running by using the ps command
described in this step.
Note: To start the lpd daemon automatically when the system boots, add
the lpd command to the /etc/rc file. The following is an example
/etc/rc file (syntax varies across operating systems):
if [ -f /usr/lib/lpd ] ; then
rm -f /dev/printer /var/spool/lpd.lock
/usr/lib/lpd;echo -n ' printer'
