1. optionally, 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:
203.66.191.12 pserver
2. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/bootptab file, similar to the following:
hostname:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=print_server_ethernet_address:\
:ip=print_server_ip_address:
lines should be indented with tabs.
Where the hostname is the device name of a print server, the
ht=1 tag specifies
the hardware type is ethernet; the ha= tag specifies the Ethernet address of a
print server, which is the node Id located on the print server. The ha tag must be
preceded by the ht tag. The ip= tag should correspond to the IP address you want
to assign to the print server.
For example, for a print server with the following configuration:
• Node Id: 0000B4010101 (this implies the ethernet address is 0000B4010101),
• IP address: 203.66.191.12
the entry for this print server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:
PS010101:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=0000B4010101:\
:ip=203.66.191.12:
6.4 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
6.5 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 among different varieties of Unix. The procedure
below can be used for Unix variants that are related to BSd Unix, such as SunoS
or linux. For other versions of Unix, consult your system documentation, keeping
in mind that:
• The print server should be treated as a BSd-networked print server host.
• The hostname should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to the
print server.
• The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be p1, p2 or p3 —
the name of the printer port on the print server.
You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root). To
configure your Unix host for printing,
1. optionally, 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
2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool
directories are normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or /var/spool/lpd:
