Note
You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or arp and ping procedures only when the
network interface card is in its default state (when no IP information has
been entered).
Depending on the topology, you may need to provide the MAC address of
the network interface card. The MAC address is the 12-character code that
is printed on the Status Page each time the image controller and the main
body printer is turned on.
After the network interface card has an IP address, you must use the MAP
utility, or other dedicated utilities (for Windows or Macintosh) to change an
IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
lpd UNIX Printing
lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon that lets
you print across a TCP/IP network without the need to install software on
your workstation, with all filtering and banners done by the network interface
card.
Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.
The process begins when the lpr call finds the printer on a remote system by
looking at the remote (rm) entry in the /etc/printcap file for that printer.
lpr handles a print job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the
lpd process on the remote system and sending the data file (followed by the
control file containing control information for this job) to the remote system.
The printer-based lpd then filters the data and prints the job according to in-
formation contained in the control file and its own printcap file.
The network interface card lpd recognizes the format of a certain printer em-
ulation and filters the data, if possible, so it can be printed on the printer you
specify.
You can indicate to the network interface card lpd what type of image con-
troller it is attached to by either:
-
Accepting the default port setting (PCL, PostScript and other), or
- Changing the listed emulations via a standard IP based Web Browser.
The sections that follow give specific lpd setup instructions for various sys-
tems.
Setting Up a BSD Remote Printer to Use lpd
To set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to the network inter-
face card using printer resident lpd, add an entry to the /etc/printcap file on
your host for each printer you use. Perform the following procedure:
