D-Link DPR-1020 - User Manual 143
Printing from BSD Unix Versions
For “flavors” of the Unix operating system derived from or related to the BSD
releases, such as SunOS 4.x, Linux, BSD/OS, FreeBSD, or NetBSD, you can use
the following procedure to enable users to print to a printer connected to your
D-LINK network print server:
1. Log in as the superuser (root).
2. Add an entry for the print server in the host’s
/etc/hosts
file, giving a hostname
for the print server’s IP address. A line in
/etc/hosts
contains an IP address
and one or more aliases for the host . For example:
202. 39. 74. 40 ps-142634 ps-142634.dlink.com.tw
If you use DNS (the Domain Naming Services protocol), you can add an address
record entry to your DNS database for the print server.
3. Create a spool directory for the printer:
◊
On SunOS systems, create the directory as a subdirectory of
/var/spool
,
with the same name as the printer (e.g.,
/var/spool/hp5l
).
◊
On Linux systems, create the directory as a subdirectory of
/user/spool
/lp
.
◊
On BSD/OS, FreeBSD, or NetBSD systems, create the directory as
subdirectory of
/var/spool
.
4. Change the owner and permissions of the directory so that it is owned and
writable by group
daemon
, using the following commands:
