To configure the MFP Server for LPD printing, perform the procedures
below:

1. Enable MFP Server’s TCP/IP Support.
2. Set up MFP Server’s IP address.
3. Verify MFP Server’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.

3.6.1 Enable MFP Server’s TCP/IP Support

Enable MFP Server’s TCP/IP Support
The default configuration of the MFP Server is with TCP/IP support enabled.
Anyway, you can configure the MFP Server to enable TCP/IP support using

the configuration program.

3.6.2 Setup MFP Server’s IP Address

Setup MFP Server’s IP Address
The MFP Server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized
by the network.


You can set up the IP address on the various Unix/Linux systems using
any one of the following methods:


1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)


The MFP Server will use the last two methods to obtain its IP address
automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).
