Pi6500 Pro on a network with UNIX workstations
When a UNIX workstation is configured with the lpd protocol, and connected to the
Pi6500 Pro over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the Pi6500 Pro.
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 Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools are not available 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 Pi6500 Pro can use the Fiery utilities to manage
print jobs that originate from all workstations on the network.
Tips for experts—UNIX workstations
Setting up the Pi6500 Pro in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as
setting up any printer or new device:
• A distinct IP address is needed for the Pi6500 Pro as well as for each workstation on
the network.
• You select a Pi6500 Pro name that goes with the IP address.
• The IP address of the Pi6500 Pro must be registered for the network in a host
database, and also on the Pi6500 Pro itself.
• The Print queue or the Hold queue (or both) must be published.
Lpd printing to the Direct connection is not supported.
The following information applies especially to the Pi6500 Pro:
• Pi6500 Pro is a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.
• Pi6500 Pro has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with it
successfully.
