1-2.3. Add Printer to Printer Manager Drop
1. Decide which drop will be the “printer host.” This will typically be the drop
containing the Printer Manager Package.
2.
The /etc/hosts file on the target drop that will function as the Printer Manager
must be edited to assign the network number and the printer’s logical name(s).
Note
User must be superuser on the Printer
Manager drop to edit /etc/hosts file.
Use an ASCII text editor to edit the file (see example below):
A. Assign the unique network number (IP address) for the printer
(as determined in Step 7 in Section 1-2.1).
B. Assign teksc (screencopies) and tektext (text files) as the logical names.
Note
“teksc” and “tektext” are the recommended
logical printer names. However, any names
may be assigned.
This enables two virtual (logical) printers to be mapped to the same physical
printer. The Printer Manager will use the virtual (logical) printer names in
the ls/config/defaults file.

Note
Verify that the software package “Log Server
Printer Manager” has been installed on the
target drop. If necessary, refer to the U0-8300
or R3-1105 manual. for information on using
the Init Tool to identify what software packages
are installed on a drop.
