UNIX

Here we provide basic instructions for installing the printer
on your UNIX system in Solaris 2.x and SCO. For additional
information, refer to your operating system administration
manuals.
First, Configure the IP Address on the 4400N
The 4400N must be assigned an IP address and routing
parameters. We suggest you use the instructions on page 73
for using the printer Operator Panel to set the Net (IP)
Address.

Second, Set Up Your Printing Mode

Use these instructions to set up the printer for SCO Open
Server Enterprise 5.0 and Solaris 2.x.
Installing the Printer in Your System
lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer
daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network,
without the need to install software on your workstation, and
with all filtering and banners done by the 4400N. Remote
printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local
printing.
The process begins when the lpr call finds a 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 information
contained in the control file and its own printcap file.
The following sections give specific lpd setup instructions for
various systems. You must log in as root in order to execute
the commands.

Adding a SuperScript 4400N to Solaris 2.x
Log into your system as root. Add the printer's IP address
you already assigned into the /etc/hosts file. Using
lpsystem follow these steps to open a terminal and enter
the printer's IP address from the command line.
1. lpsystem -t bsd <IP address of printer>
[ENTER]
Enter the 4400N print server host name from the
/etc/hosts file. Your system may want its IP address
instead of the remote host name.
2. lpadmin -p <printername> -s <remote host
name or IP address>!PORT1 [ENTER]
note:
There is no space after the remote host name.
3. Enable<printername> [ENTER]
4. Accept<printername> [ENTER]
Then, make sure that the printer content type is set to PS" by
typing lpstat -p -l to display the current printer settings. If it
is not set to PS, type the following on the command line to
change the printer settings.
5. lpadmin -p <printername> -I ps [ENTER]
6. lpadmin -p <printername> -T PS [ENTER]
To test that the printer was installed into the system, send a
print job using any application in your operating system.
Make sure that the printer you choose is the SuperScript
4400N that you installed earlier.
