2. If the download file is in tar format, use the tar xvf filename command to

extract the software, where filename is the name of the software that you
downloaded (you must be logged in as root). If the file is in pkgadd format, use
the pkgadd -d filename all command to extract the software. Accept the
default directory to store the files. Follow the instructions in the README files
to install the software.

3. Run JetAdmin by typing jetadmin at the UNIX prompt (on SunOS 4.xx

systems, you use the hpnpcfg program instead of JetAdmin, but the
configuration steps are similar).

4. Select item 1 (Configuration) and then select item 3 (Add printer to local

spooler).

5. Enter the desired name for the print server or IP address at the Enter the

network printer name/IP Name

prompt.

NOTE:

With versions of firmware earlier than 3.46, you must enter the
name (do not enter the IP address) before configuring the print
server name in the /etc/hosts file, or in NIS or DNS. You will
get a message Unknown printer. Do you wish to
continue?

6. Select the printer type (for example, “Monarch 92xx printers”).

7. If desired, change any of the configurable parameters (note that the default

queue name is the name of the printer plus an “_” and a number (e.g.,
laser_1)). Then enter 0 to configure the queue.

8. Answer “Y” at the “OK to Continue?” prompt. Exit the JetAdmin utility by

pressing RETURN and then “q” twice.

9. Print a job using the lp command. For example,

l p - d l a s e r _ 1 / e t c / h o s t s

If you need a different TCP port number or if you want additional TCP ports,
you may define a TCP port number on any XCD print server service by using
the

S E T S E R V I C E s e r v i c e n a m e T C P n n

where servicename is the name of the service, and nn is the desired port
number (must be greater than 1023).
