Connecting the Printer to a Network

3

Create a spool directory for the printer in the /var/spool
directory.

For example, enter the following:

mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/KX-P8420q
chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/KX-P8420q

4

Create the log files.

For example, enter the following:

cp /dev/null /var/spool/lpd/KX-P8420q/log

5

Reboot the machine.

To set up printing on a UNIX system running Solaris 2:

1

On each workstation that will print to the printer, log into
the UNIX system as the root user.

2

At the UNIX prompt, type lpsystem -t bsd KX-P8420

This tells your system that the printer is a print server of

bsd

(Berkeley Software Distribution) type.

3

Type lpadmin -p KX-P8420q -s KX-P8420\!xjdirect

This command creates an internal queue on the workstation and
points it to the printer. The general format of this command is:

lpadmin -p <queuename> -s <hostname>\!xjdirect

NOTE:

The name

xjdirect

after the exclamation point is for configuring

the printer; it is an internal name that the printer requests. It must
be

xjdirect

; it is not a user-selectable name. This is the only place

where it is entered.

As with SunOS 4 or other BSD based systems, when printing to
printers with a hard disk and a minimum of 32 MB of memory it is
possible to configure up to two additional printer entries, one with
the

rp

name

xjprint

and one with the

rp

name

xjhold

(see

page 56

).

4

Type accept KX-P8420q

This command tells the printer to accept print requests from your
workstation. You are now ready to print from the workstation to the
printer.

5

Type enable KX-P8420q
