the /etc/ethers file, by adding a line such as:
00:00:B4:01:01:01 pserver

Unix, consult your system documentation, keeping in mind that:
1. The PrintSir should be treated as a BSD networked print server
host.
2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you
have assigned to the PrintSir.
