UNIX Configuration UNIX printing uses a line printer daemon (lpd) to direct jobs to the printer. The NIC supports two modes of lpd printing, host-based lpd and printer-based lpd. With host-based lpd, the line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations (hosts) where print jobs are accepted and sent to the NIC. With printer-based lpd, the NIC acts as the line printer daemon host and accepts print jobs directly. Many UNIX systems allow either lpd mode to be used, although configuration may be easier for one of the modes depending on the UNIX system. Following are some advantages and disadvantages of each mode: • Banner Page Comparison: The host-based lpd can include the user name and file name on the banner page, while the print-based lpd can only include the host name. • Configuration Comparison: The host-based lpd requires configuration on each host that will be sending jobs to the printer, while the printer-based lpd requires only the NIC to be configured. NIC Configuration TCP/IP configuration of the NIC is needed for all versions of UNIX. Lpd configuration depends upon the mode selected and the UNIX system in use. Please refer to the Owner's Manual for lpd configuration instructions for a particular UNIX system. Setting the IP Address You may set the NIC IP address with the following utilities: • MAP utility when a NetWare server is present • UNIX bootp daemon • rarp • arp The following instructions use arp.

UNIX Configuration
UNIX printing uses a line printer daemon (lpd) to direct jobs to the
printer.
The NIC supports two modes of lpd printing, host-based lpd and
printer-based lpd.
With host-based lpd, the line printer daemon is run on
one or more workstations (hosts) where print jobs are accepted and sent
to the NIC.
With printer-based lpd, the NIC acts as the line printer dae-
mon host and accepts print jobs directly.
Many UNIX systems allow
either lpd mode to be used, although configuration may be easier for one
of the modes depending on the UNIX system.
Following are some advan-
tages and disadvantages of each mode:
• Banner Page Comparison:
The host-based lpd can include the user
name and file name on the banner page, while the print-based lpd can
only include the host name.
• Confi
guration Comparison
:
The host-based lpd requires configura-
tion on each host that will be sending jobs to the printer, while the
printer-based lpd requires only the NIC to be configured.
NIC Configuration
TCP/IP configuration of the NIC is needed for all versions of UNIX.
Lpd
configuration depends upon the mode selected and the UNIX system in
use.
Please refer to the
Owner's Manual
for lpd configuration instructions
for a particular UNIX system.
Setting the IP Address
You may set the NIC IP address with the following utilities:
• MAP utility when a NetWare server is present
• UNIX bootp daemon
• rarp
• arp
The following instructions use arp. Directions on using the other methods
are included in the
Owner's Manual
.
1.
Press the Status key on the front panel of the printer with the NIC, or
if the printer is off, turn it on and wait for the power-up network sta-
tus page to print.
