3. Enter the information when prompted by the script.
4. Log in as root.
5. Make an entry into the host’s ARP table defining the printer’s
IP/hardware address pair. In general, this requires a command
corresponding to one of the following examples:
arp -s printer-IP-address hardware-address (for BSD systems)
or
arp -s ether printer-IP-address hardware-address (for System V)
See your host system documentation for specifics of this command.
6. Turn on the printer.
7. Execute the ping command from the host:
ping printer-IP-address
8. Use the host spooling system (for example, lpr or lp) to send to the
printer the file you created in Step 2b. This stores the IP addressing
information in the printer’s internal memory, where it is retained over
a reset or power cycle. (For more information on setting up queues, see
“Assigning a print queue to the printer” on page 31.)
9. Reset the printer.

The script accepts IP addresses that have empty fields (for example,
123..40.10). The script does not detect this error. Double-check the IP
addresses you enter.

The hardware address in the arp command example is the printer’s Ethernet
Address for PhaserShare Ethernet interfaces or the Token Ring Address for
PhaserShare Token Ring cards.
