30 OkiLAN 320e Network Card
Setting up the UNIX server
IP address and host name in the host table
Using the following procedure, add the IP address and
the host name (printer name) to the host table:
1. Get the IP address, which is not being used, from
the network administrator and determine a unique
name for this network card.
2. Add the IP address and the host name to the host
table of the system. In almost all the UNIX
systems, you can do this by adding the following
line to /etc/hosts file:
<IP address> <host name>
3. Update the data base. If the system uses data base
s u c h a s Ye l l ow Pa g e s ( Y P ) a n d N e t w or k
Information Services (NIS), these must be
updated. In almost all the UNIX systems, you can
do this by entering the following commands:
cd /var/yp
make
Printer data base
To allow the printer to function correctly in the UNIX
line printer system, you must create the /etc/printcap
file. In the printcap data base, information on the line
printer directly connected to a certain machine and the
printer(s) that can be used via network is registered.
For the details of the printcap, please refer to the UNIX
On-Line Manual Page or Reference Manual.
This section describes how to create the /etc/printcap
file, using an example in which the remote machine
name, the printer name and the spool directory name
were set to OKIPAGE 14i.
First, create a directory OKIPAGE 14i under the
directory /ver/spool/lpd. The printcap entry is
composed of fields enclosed with colons (:). The last
field must end with a colon. Describe the name of the
printer in the first field of each entry. Start from the left
margin, without placing a colon at the head.
