Unix, consult your system documentation, keeping in mind that:
1. The MFP Server should be treated as a BSD networked MFP Server host.
2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to the MFP
Server.
3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the
name of the printer port on the MFP Server.
You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root). To configure
your Unix host for printing,
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the MFP Server
’
s IP address. You can add
this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:
203.66.191.186
pserver
2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool directories are
normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or /var/spool/lpd:
mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
79
3. Add an entry to the host
’
s /etc/printcap file, similar to the following:
printer-name:\
:lp=:\
:rm=203.66.191.186:\
:rp=lpt1:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd:\
:mx#0:
Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can be used, with
variants separated by vertical bars (name1|name2).
