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 of 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.
