Connecting the Printer to a Network
5
If your UNIX system uses SunOS 4 or another BSD-
based variant, go to the next section.
If your system uses Solaris 2, follow the steps on
page 57
.
To set up printing on a UNIX system running SunOS 4 or another
BSD based variant:
1
On each workstation that will print to the printer, log in to
your UNIX host as the root user.
2
Create an entry for the printer in your /etc/printcap file.
The following is a sample printcap entry for the printer. Note that the
remote host name you enter in the
rm
line must exactly match the
name you entered in the
/etc/hosts
file.
KX-P8420q:\
:lp=:\
:rm=KX-P8420:\
:rp=xjprint:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/KX-P8420q/log:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/KX-P8420q:\
:mx#0:sf:sb
The spool directory
KX-P8420q
is specified here, and the directory
itself is created in
step 3
. Similarly, the log file is specified here and
created in
step 4
. The spool directory is write-protected (from
everyone but a daemon user and daemon group); users cannot
modify or remove files other than their own.
It is possible to set up to two additional printer entries, one with the
rp
name
xjprint
and one with the name
xjhold
. The
rp
name
indicates the KX-P8420 queue to which jobs are sent when you
print to the named printer.
A printer entry with the
rp
name
xjhold
routes all jobs to the
KX-P8420 Hold queue. Therefore, to print those jobs, they must be
moved to the Print queue or deleted using Fiery WebSpooler.
NOTE:
•
Printers without a hard disk drive and 32 MB 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 KX-P8420 has no hard disk, or is configured
with less than 32 MB of memory.
