Connecting the Printer to a Network
N
OTE
:
Printers without a hard disk drive and 32MB of memory can not use Print
or Hold queues (
rp
name:
xjprint
and
xjhold
), they can only receive print jobs over
the Direct connection. Use the
rp
name
xjdirect
if your Ci1000 has no hard disk,
or is configured with less than 32MB of memory.
3.
Create a spool directory for the printer in the
/var/spool
directory.
For example, enter the following:
mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/KX-P8420_PSq
chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/KX-P8420_PSq
4.
Create the log files.
For example, enter the following:
cp /dev/null /var/spool/lpd/KX-P8420_PSq/log
5.
Reboot the machine.

1.
On each workstation that will print to the printer, log into the UNIX system as the
root user.
2.
At the UNIX prompt, type:
lpsystem -t bsd KX-P8420_PS
This tells your system that the printer is a print server of
bsd
(Berkeley Software
Distribution) type.
3.
Type:
lpadmin -p KX-P8420_PSq -s KX-P8420_PS\!xjdirect
This command creates an internal queue on the workstation and points it to the
printer. The general format of this command is:
lpadmin -p <queuename> -s <hostname>\!xjdirect

:
The name
xjdirect
after the exclamation point is for configuring the printer;
it is an internal name that the printer requests. It must be
xjdirect
; it is not a user-
selectable name. This is the only place where it is entered.
