Overview
The ability to print files directly from the MCC may prove useful in some
situations. Configuring the printer (NOT to be confused with printer consoles) is
relatively straightforward. The MCC can print to an LP/LPD capable printer, or
to a printer host which has been configured to accept print requests from other
machines.
Configuring Printing
To configure the MCC for TCP/IP network printing:
1. Define the print host in /etc/hosts or DNS.
2.
Ping the print host by name to verify name resolution and print host
availability.
3. Log in as root and execute the following steps. Enter the text in bold and
verify the responses are as shown. means press the Enter key.
