Before attempting to print, it is very important to verify the connection between the
host and the print server by using the UNIX ping command with the IP address of
the print server. For example:
p i n g 1 9 2 . 1 8 9 . 2 0 7 . 3
You should get a message that the print server is alive. If you get an error
message or no response, then there is no connection. You will not be able to print
if you cannot ping the print server. If this is the case, verify that you have set up
the host and print server correctly and that the physical connections (e.g., the
transceivers and cabling) are good. Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter for
additional information.

Monarch print servers provide a means of allowing only host computers with
authorized IP addresses to access the print server. The console command
S E T I P
A C C E S S E N A B L E D i p a d d r e s s enters a host computer IP address into the access
table of the print server (where ipaddress is the IP address of the host computer).
To remove an IP address, use the command
S E T I P A C C E S S D I S A B L E D
i p a d d r e s s . To reenable general access, use the command S E T I P A C C E S S A L L .

Monarch print servers provide a raw TCP port capability that can be used by any
application that can open and send data to a TCP port. The port number is 9100
(238C hex). The port passes data through unmodified, so there is no TELNET
interpretation provided. When using the raw TCP ports, make sure that TELNET
interpretation is disabled in your software or else you may get distorted printouts.
The raw TCP port is compatible with many popular software packages, including
HP's JetDirect software for UNIX, TGV Multinet (streams mode), IBM AIX for the
RS/6000 (V3.25 or later), and any TCP/IP-based software that supports HP's
JetDirect Ethernet network interface card.
The HP JetDirect software for UNIX is available for Sun Solaris, SunOS, and
HP/UX. HP printer users can download these utilities from HP's web site
(

To use the print server with the HP host printing utilities on an HP/UX or Sun
system:
1. Download the software from the HP web site or FTP site.
