Using the Installation Shell Script

The installation shell script helps with the setup process. The installation shell
script automates some of the tasks in configuring /etc/hosts, /etc/printcap, and
in creating the spool directory for BSD UNIX, and in running the lpadmin com-
mand for System V UNIX.

Preparation

The installation shell script can be used on the following three kinds of work-
stations. This installation shell script cannot be used with other types of work-
stations.
• Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, 8
• HP-UX 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, 11.0
• Red Hat Linux 6.x, 7
When you use NIS (Network Information Service) or DNS, you should con-
figure the server before running this installation shell script.
For more information about the configuration utility of your OS, see the man-
ual that came with the utility.

Assigning the IP Address

Preparation

Configure the machine to use the TCP/IP protocol.
• Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol on the machine is set to active. (The

default is active.)

• Assign an IP address to the machine and configure the other settings re-

quired for using the TCP/IP protocol.

Reference

For more information about how to make the above settings, see the Printer
Reference.

ured correctly.
