Using the Installation Shell Script

Note
❒
When you use NIS, the IP address and host name are written to /etc/hosts
on the master server. When you use DNS, the information is written to a
data file on the name server. After writing the host name and IP address to
the file, make sure that the configuration is correct by pinging the host
name.
# ping host_name
❒
If the host name is registered with an IP address, the server can access the
printer using its host name instead of its IP address.
Executing the Installation Shell Script
After having configured the printer IP address, follow the procedure below to
execute the installation shell script and set up the workstation printing environ-
ment.
Preparation
Before executing the installation shell script, the IP address, the host name
and the printer name are required.
Following procedures use sample IP address: 192.168.15.16, sample host
