6. At the Printer Server prompt, type
name \! servicename
where:
name matches the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter’s name as entered in the hosts
table.
servicename is the print service name. For binary graphics files, use the service
BINARY_P1; for text files, use the service TEXT_P1.
7. Make sure that the Printer Server OS is set to BSD (this is the default setting).
8. Select Add.
9. To print, use the standard lp command:
lp –d LabelPrinter filename
Note: We recommend using the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than NIS or
other name services.
Due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier releases, you may
encounter problems printing very long print jobs. The workaround is to configure the
EasyLAN 10i2 adapter as an HP JetDirect card using the HP JetAdmin for UNIX
software.
Solaris print queues can also be configured from the UNIX shell using the lpadmin
command.
Configuring for HP-UX
1. For HP-UX 10.x and 11.x, open the sam program to configure the EasyLAN 10i2
adapter.
2. When you get a list of options, select Printers and Plotters.
3. Select LP Spooler.
4. Select Printers and Plotters.
5. Select Actions, and then select Add Remote Printer/Plotter.
6. Enter any name as the Printer Name (the Printer Name is the name of the print
queue).
7. Enter the IP address of the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter as the Remote System Name.
8. Enter the desired EasyLAN 10i2 adapter’s service name (BINARY_P1 for binary
files or TEXT_P1 for text files) as the Remote Printer Name.
9. Check that the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD System.
10. If you choose to, accept the default values for the remaining items.
