13.5 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the

Host

The procedure you use to configure your Unix host(s) to allow printing to your

network remote MFP Server varies between different varieties of Unix. The

procedure below can be used for Unix variants that are related to BSD Unix,

such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of Unix, consult your system

documentation, keeping in mind that:

1. The MFP Server should be treated as a BSD networked MFP Server host.

2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have

assigned to the MFP Server.

3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1, lpt2

or lpt3, the name of the printer port on the MFP Server.

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root).

To configure your Unix host for printing,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the MFP Server’s IP address.

You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.186

pserver

2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool

directories are normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or

/var/spool/lpd:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
