Saving the IP Address in the Print Server
Print Server User Manual 17
What Happens When
the Print Server is
Turned on?
The print server repeats the same procedure (see ZeroConf) for the
service name. The service name consists of the default print server
name and the name of the connected printer. The print server will
then start the printing process and an HTTP service and advertises
both services in the network. The print server is now visible in the
network and the printing process can begin.
Integration of the
Printer Server in
Other Networks
In many cases, the print server is to be integrated into the actual
network after the automatic configuration in the 169.254.0.0/16
segment.
2.2 ... via BOOTP
The print server supports BOOTP, which means that the IP address of
the print server can be assigned via a BOOTP server. If the BOOTP
boot protocol has been installed in your network, you must edit the
'/etc/bootptab' file. This file is located on the host running the
BOOTP daemon. The '/etc/bootptab' file contains a permanent copy
of the assignment of the host name and the IP address to the
hardware address.

What Happens When
the Print Server is
Turned on?
Once the print server has been turned on, it asks the BOOTP for the
IP address and the host name. The BOOTP host answers and sends a
data packet containing the IP address. The IP address is saved in the
print server.
What Happens When
Printing?
During the installation of the print server, its host name is displayed
on the monitor of the computer intended for printing. The computer
finds the IP address of the print server by means of either the local
'etc/hosts' file or the DNS server. The print data can then be sent to
this IP address.
