Configuring IP address to the network interface card
Regardless of the printing mode selected, the network interface card must
be given the IP address and routing parameters. You can configure the IP ad-
dress for the network interface card in one of the following ways:
x Use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
x Use arp and ping capability.
x Use BOOTP (Internet Boot Protocol).
x Use reverse ARP (rarp) capability (Ethernet II frame type only).
x Use arp command, MAP (Management Access Program), or BOOTP Lite
for Windows.
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 print 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.
