Utility Tool 13 2 Note You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or arp and ping procedures only when the network interface card is in its default state (when no IP information has been entered). Depending on the topology, you may need to provide the MAC address of the network interface card. The MAC address is the 12-character code that is printed on the Status Page each time the image controller and the main body printer is turned on. After the network interface card has an IP address, you must use the MAP utility, or other dedicated utilities (for Windows or Macintosh) to change an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. lpd UNIX Printing lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon that lets you print across a TCP/IP network without the need to install software on your workstation, with all filtering and banners done by the network interface card. Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing. The process begins when the lpr call finds the printer on a remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the /etc/printcap file for that printer. lpr handles a print job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpd process on the remote system and sending the data file (followed by the control file containing control information for this job) to the remote system. The printer-based lpd then filters the data and prints the job according to information contained in the control file and its own printcap file. The network interface card lpd recognizes the format of a certain printer emulation and filters the data, if possible, so it can be printed on the printer you specify. You can indicate to the network interface card lpd what type of image controller it is attached to by either: - Accepting the default port setting (PCL, PostScript and other), or - Changing the listed emulations via a standard IP based Web Browser. The sections that follow give specific lpd setup instructions for various systems. Setting Up a BSD Remote Printer to Use lpd To set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to the network interface card using printer resident lpd, add an entry to the /etc/printcap file on your host for each printer you use.
