3.3 Install Printers in UNIX/Linux

The following printing tools are recommended for

lpd printer configuration:

AXIS axinstall script

The axinstall script is an installation and management utility for Axis print servers that supports

lpd, ftp, PROS A and PROS B print methods. For more advanced printing functionality, use the
PROS filter or named pipe methods.

With this installation script, the printer connected to the print server will appear as though it is
directly connected to the host print spooler. If you want to integrate your AXIS 5400+/AXIS
5600+ into your host spooler, you can use the Axis installation script axinstall, or perform a

manual integration.

Follow these instructions to download axinstall to your host:

1. Open a Terminal window and log in to the AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ by typing:

2. Enter

root as the default user id and pass as the default Administrator password.
