Chapter 6: UNIX System Network
6.1 Introduction
The print server is available for TCP/IP printing by UNIX LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol. The LPD
protocol originated with UNIX release is based on the BSD version of UNIX and supported under most
versions of UNIX.
This chapter explains how to configure the print server for TCP/IP operation, and how to modify configuration
files on your UNIX system to allow printing to the print server. The configuration examples in this manual
follow the syntax for BSD-based UNIX systems. Please refer to the related system documentation for the
correct syntax for your systems.
To configure the print server for LPD printing, perform the procedures below:
1. Enable Print Server’s TCP/IP support.
2. Set up Print Server’s IP address.
3. Verify Print Server’s IP address.
4. Configure remote LPD printing on the host.
5. Print a test page.
In the next sections, we will describe these five procedures step by step.
6.2 Enable Print Server’s TCP/IP Support
The default configuration of the print server is with TCP/IP support enabled. You can configure the print server
to enable TCP/IP support using the configuration program.
6.3 Setup Print Server’s IP Address
The print server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by the network.
You can set up the IP address on the various UNIX systems using any one of the following methods:
1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)
The print server will use the last three methods to obtain its IP address automatically if its IP address is
configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).
