Enter information into the remote printer form, as follows:

m

Name of queue to add

Type the local queue name users will use as the name

for the printer.

m

Host name of remote server

Type the printer IP name assigned to the printer

as described in “Step 3: Assigning an IP Address to the Printer,” earlier in
this chapter.

m

Name of queue on remote printer

Type

text

if you want to append a carriage

return to the end of each line to be printed or

raw

if you don’t. (Since the

printer doesn’t otherwise need this remote printer queue name, it uses the
name as a flag to determine whether it should add a carriage return to the
end of each line.)

m

Type of print spooler or remote server

Select BSD.

7

Click Do.

8

Click Done.

Choose Exit from the Exit menu.

To test the connection, once again type the

ping

command from a workstation on the

same subnet as the printer:

ping

printer_IP_name

If the

ping

command responds by telling you that the printer is alive on the

network, the address assignment was successful.

If the

ping

command does not respond, or tells you the printer was not

found, then the address assignment failed. Try the steps in this procedure
again, making sure you type the printer’s Ethernet address exactly as it
appears on the startup page. If it still doesn’t work, see the troubleshooting
suggestions in Chapter 13.

11

Try printing by using this command:

lpr -P

queue_name filename

Note that there’s no space between

-P

and queue_name.
