CHAPTER 7: UNIX System Network
The entry for this print server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:
PS010101:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=0000B4010101:\
:ip=203.66.191.12:
7.3 Verify the Print Server’s IP Address
To verify that your print server is responding to the newly assigned IP address using
a PING command:
ping ip-address
7.4 Configure Remote lpd Printing on the Host
The procedure you use to configure your UNIX host(s) to allow printing to your
network remote print server varies between different UNIX varieties. The
procedure below can be used for UNIX variants that are related to BSD UNIX,
such as SunOS or Linux. For other UNIX versions, consult your system
documentation, keeping in mind:
1. Treat the print server as a BSD networked print server host.
2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to
the print server.
3. The remote host’s printer name (or queue name) should be lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3
(the print server’s printer port name).
Perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root). To configure your
UNIX host for printing:
1. Assign a name corresponding to the print 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
