Tips for experts—UNIX workstations
Tips for experts—UNIX workstations
Setting up the Fiery XJ in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting
up any printer or new device:
•
A distinct IP address is needed for the Fiery XJ as well as for each workstation on the
network.
•
You select a name for the Fiery XJ that goes with the IP address.
•
The IP address of the Fiery XJ must be registered for the network in a host database,
and also on the Fiery XJ itself.
•
The Print queue or the Hold queue (or both) must be published.
The Hold queue is always published. Lpd printing to the Direct connection is not
supported.
The following information applies especially to the Fiery XJ:
•
Fiery XJ is a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.
•
Fiery XJ has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with it
successfully.
See the next section for details.
Important note about the remote printer name
Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for remote printer (or
rp
in the
/etc/printcap
file) in configuring the Fiery XJ must be one of the following
:
print
hold
To help identify the printer on your network, you can append the
_DocuColor
extension to the end of the remote printer name, for example
print_DocuColor.
The remote printer or
rp
name is also used when setting up your Windows NT 4.0
workstation or server to connect to the Fiery XJ over TCP/IP. Enter the remote printer
name when you set up your Windows NT 4.0 printer, as the “Name of printer or print
queue on that (lpd host) server” in the Add LPR Compatible Printer dialog box (see
Getting Started).
