A superuser (with root login) must add the Pi5500 to the network’s IP host table or
other system database of network printers.
2.
In the file or utility used by your network, specify the remote printer name, the print
server protocol, the queue, and the spool file for the Pi5500 name you assigned.
3.
Make the Pi5500 available as a printer to other network users.

To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any
computer on the network, at the command prompt, type:
ping <IP address>
Type the Pi5500 IP address assigned in Pi5500 Network Setup.
After the Pi5500 is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave to
the Pi5500:
ping <hostname>
The server should respond with a message such as
<IP address> is alive
Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address.
To stop the output, type
Control-C.
You can use the
ping
command at any time.
