9. MFP Server Installation in UNIX/Linux




AirLive WFP-151U User’s Manual

procedure below can be used for Unix/Linux variants that are related to BSD Unix, such as
SunOS or Linux. For other versions of Unix/Linux, consult your system documentation,
keeping in mind that:

1. The MFP Server should be treated as a BSD networked MFP Server host.

2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to the MFP

Server.

3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the

name of the printer port on the MFP Server.

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root). To configure
your Unix/Linux host for printing,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the MFP Server’s IP address. You can

add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.186 pserver

2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool directories are

normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or /var/spool/lpd:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

3. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/printcap file, similar to the following:

printer-name:\

:lp=:\

:rm=203.66.191.186:\

:rp=lpt1:\

:lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\

:sd=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd:\

:mx#0:

Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can be used, with
