Initial TCP/IP setup
Before UNIX users can use the printer, the printer administrator must assign
an IP address for the printer, as described in the following sections.
Will these instructions work for my flavor of UNIX?
The instructions in this section describe how to perform the initial TCP/IP
setup for most flavors of UNIX that use the Remote Line Printer Daemon
(
lpd ) protocol. These include almost all versions of UNIX based on the
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), including Apple’s own UNIX
implementation, A/UX.
For information on other systems, see “Notes on Configuring Specific UNIX
Systems,” later in this chapter.
Background information
TCP/IP is a protocol commonly used to connect UNIX systems over Ethernet
networks. Every TCP/IP device must have a unique IP address. Much of the
initial work the printer administrator must do is related to assigning an IP
address (and a number of associated aliases) to the printer.
Security
You can limit printer access to hosts (and networks of hosts) that you specify.
See “Changing TCP/IP Configurations” in Chapter 2, if you’re using the
Apple Printer Utility on a Macintosh, or Chapter 3 if you’re using the Apple
Printer Utility for Windows.
Step 1: Installing the software the printer administrator needs
You don’t need to install any special UNIX software to administer the printer.
To control printer features, you can use the Apple Printer Utility program on
Macintosh computers (see Chapter 2) or Apple Printer Utility for Windows
(see Chapter 3) on IBM PC or compatible computers.
