2-17 Fiery on a network with UNIX workstations
Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the
initial configuration, UNIX users simply submit print jobs to a named printer.
The job management tools, along with the other Fiery utilities and WebTools, are
unavailable on the UNIX platform. A Windows or Mac OS computer on the same
network as the UNIX computer that is set up to use TCP/IP for printing to the Fiery
can use the job management tools to manage print jobs that originate from all
workstations on the network.
Tips for experts—UNIX workstations
Setting up the Fiery in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting up
any printer or new device:
• A distinct IP address is required for the Fiery as well as for each workstation on
the network.
• A name must be selected for the Fiery that goes with the IP address.
• The IP address of the Fiery must be registered for the network in a host name
database, and also on the Fiery itself.
• At least one print connection (Print or Hold) must be published.
The following information applies especially to the Fiery:
• The Fiery contains a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.
• The Fiery has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with
it successfully.
For details, see the following section.
Important note about the remote printer name
Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for the remote printer (or
rp
in the
/etc/printcap file) in configuring the Fiery must be one of the following :
print
hold
