UNIX networks
• When you configure a UNIX workstation with the lpr protocol and connect to the EX/i Print
Server over a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the EX/i Print Server.
• Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the
initial configuration, UNIX users submit print jobs to a named printer.
• The EX/i Print Server is a printer controller that understands lpr protocols.
• The EX/i Print Server has a remote printer name that you must use in order to
communicate with it successfully.
Regardless of the UNIX workstation you use, the name that you use for the remote printer (or
rp
in the
/etc/printcap
file) in configuring the network for the EX/i Print Server must be one
of the following
:
•
•
hold
•
name of virtual printer
Computers on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the EX/i Print Server as a remote
printer, or can print to a Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Server 2008 R2/Server 2012
server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server.
