TCP/IP LPR Port Printing Installation
7 - 17
Linux
The Print Server can work under any Linux-based
systems, including Slackware, RedHat, etc, without any
problems.
Basically, the Linux's printing system is based on BSD
system. Although many commercial Linux systems are
available in the market and their commands will vary
slightly, depending upon which version is used, the
functionality of the Linux-based variants is exactly the
same.
Following are the outlined procedures (
recommended for
all users
) on Red Hat Linux 7.2/7.3 with
X-Window
system
installed.
a. Make sure that the TCP/IP is well configured on
your RedHat system, including network interface
card's driver and IP-related settings say, IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway IP).
b. Log
in
root
.
c. Assign Print Server an IP address. At shell mode:
c.1. arp -s <the IP address you want to assign to
the Print Server> < Print Server 's Node
ID>
c.2. Execute tftp < Print Server 's IP> get
config.txt and quit tftp.
c.3. Edit the config.txt and modify the IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway IP.
When done, save the config.txt.
