3.6.2.3 Verify MFP Server’s IP Address

To verify your MFP Server is responding to the newly assigned IP address

using a PING command:

ping ip-address


3.6.2.4 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host

The procedure you use to configure your Unix/Linux host(s) to allow
printing to your network remote MFP Server varies between different
varieties of Unix/Linux. The procedure below can be used for Unix/Linux

variants that are related to BSD Unix, such as SunOS or Linux. For other
versions of Unix/Linux, consult your system documentation, keeping in
mind that:


1. The MFP Server should be treated as a BSD networked MFP Server

host.

2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have

assigned to the MFP Server.

3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1,

lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the printer port on the MFP Server.

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser
(root). To configure your Unix/Linux host for printing,


1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the MFP Server’s IP

address. You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a

line such as:

203.66.191.186

pserver

2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where

spool directories are normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool
or /var/spool/lpd:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
