Utility Tool 13 13.3 UNIX Printing through TCP/IP This section explains how to configure the network interface card and your network for use with TCP/IP communication in various UNIX environments. Independent setup and installation procedures are provided for most popular UNIX systems. The TCP/IP capability of the network interface card will also operate with lpr spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/supervisor capabilities that communicate raw print jobs to the TCP/IP port of the network interface card. This port number is 10001. 2 Note SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol for network management services. SNMP is supported for Management Information Base (MIB) II over the IP for the network interface card. This support allows you to query MIB II to get system information about the network interface card. The network interface card can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes: - Host-based where a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations and print data is communicated to the network interface card via a TCP/IP port. - Printer-based lpd where the image controller appears as a host running a line printer daemon. Many operating systems provide the option of using host-resident printing or printer-resident printing. In general, printer-based lpd is easier to use on BSD UNIX systems. This requires an entry in the printcap file once the network interface card has its IP information. Some UNIX System V systems have restrictions on support of remote lpd printers, requiring that the host-based lpd approach be used. Each printing mode has certain advantages over the other mode, as follows: - The host-resident method can print the username and filename on its banner page; whereas the printer-resident method prints a banner page with the host's name. - The printer-resident method requires you to configure the image controller and the network interface card only one time, when you install the network interface card; whereas, the host-resident method requires that a printing daemon be installed on every host that you want to be able to print jobs. bizhub PRO 1200/1200P/1051 Printer 13-25
