The entry for this print server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:

PS010101:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=0000B4010101:\

:ip=203.66.191.12:

6.4 Verify Print Server’s IP Address

To verify that your print server is responding to the newly assigned IP address using a PING command:

ping ip-address

6.5 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host

The procedure you use to configure your UNIX host(s) to allow printing to your network remote print server

varies between different varieties of UNIX. The procedures below can be used for UNIX variants that are

related to BSD UNIX, such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of UNIX, consult your system

documentation, keeping in mind that:

1. The print server should be treated as a BSD networked print server host.

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

3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be p1, p2, or p3, the name of the printer

port on the print server.

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root) to configure your UNIX host for

printing.

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print 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
