Fiery 3850C on a network with UNIX workstations
The job management tools, along with the other 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
Fiery 3850C can use the job management tools to manage print jobs that originate
from all workstations on the network.
Tips for experts—UNIX workstations
Setting up the Fiery 3850C in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as
setting up any printer or new device:
•
A distinct IP address is needed for the Fiery 3850C as well as for each workstation on
the network.
•
You select a name for the Fiery 3850C that goes with the IP address.
•
The IP address of the Fiery 3850C must be registered for the network in a host
database, and also on the Fiery 3850C itself.
•
The Print queue or the Hold queue (or both) must be published.
The following information applies especially to the Fiery 3850C:
•
Fiery 3850C is a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.
•
Fiery 3850C has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with it
successfully.
