2. At the Network Configuration HTML form that displays, click
the first field below Gateway and type in the IP address of the
default router/gateway for the NIC subnet.
3. Click Submit when done and physically repower the print

Unix Host Configuration
There may be times when you would prefer or have to perform the
manual setup steps for a new printer definition. There may also be
times when you require a less common print solution such as direct
socket capabilities. This section covers these additional setups.
Manual System V Host Setup
This setup involves any Unix operating system using System V
print spooling (e.g., SCO, Solaris
®
, HP-UX
®
, DG/UX
®
, etc.). This
means an interface file is used for each defined printer and, in the
case of any System V print setup involving a NIC, the RSHD
protocol is used to transfer data from the host to the print server.
To manually configure a new System V printer on a Unix station,
create a dummy device file that acts as a locking mechanism
between contending print jobs.
Syntax:
touch /dev/NICname.portname
where NICname is the host or IP name of the print server and
portname is one of its four I/O ports.
Example:
touch /dev/spike.prn
