6.1 Introduction
The PrintSir is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix lpd (Line
Printer Daemon) protocol. The lpd protocol originated with Unix release
is based on the BSD version of Unix and supported under most versions
of Unix.
This chapter explains how to c onfigure the PrintSir for TCP/IP
operation, and how to modify configuration files on your Unix system to
allow printing to the PrintSir. The configuration examples in this manual
follow the syntax for BSD based Unix systems. Please refer to the related
system documentation for the correct syntax of your systems.
To configure the PrintSir for lpd printing, perform the procedures
below:
1. Enable PrintSir’s TCP/IP Support.
2. Set up PrintSir’s IP address.
3. Verify PrintSir’s IP Address.
4. Configure remote lpd printing on the host.
5. Print a test page.
In the next sections, we will describe these five procedures step by
step.
6.2 Enable PrintSir’s TCP/IP Support
The default configuration of the PrintSir is with TCP/IP support
enabled. Anyway, you can configure the PrintSir to enable TCP/IP support
using the configuration program or PSETUP program in the CD-ROM
included with the PrintSir.
