UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP Configuring the IP Address on the NC-2 Print Server Using ping Use the following procedure to enter the IP address: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server. 3. Find the Ethernet address of the NC-2 Print Server. The address is printed on the configuration status report each time you turn the printer on. 4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and print server's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a print server with a name of printfast and an IP address of 192.9.200.200 has the entry: 192.9.200.200 printfast 5. Add an entry to the arp cache for the print server's IP address and Ethernet address, as: arp -s 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff RS6000 (AIX) requires the ether option after arp -s. For example: arp -s ether 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff 6. Check the printer to see that the print server is connected to the network. Turn on the printer. 7. Send a ping command the NC-2 Print Server to verify it is running on the network, as for example: ping 192.9.200.200 or ping printfast The NC-2 Print Server will not respond to this ping command but it will read its IP address from the packets. 8. Turn the printer off and back on again and then send the ping command again to verify that the print server obtained its IP address. A confirmation message displays as: 192.9.200.200 is alive 9. Remove the entry from the arp cache using the following command. Specify the print server either by its IP address or by its name, for example: arp -d printfast 5-24 UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP

Configuring the IP Address on the NC-2 Print Server
Using ping
Use the following procedure to enter the IP address:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server.
However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to
store the IP address in the print server.
3. Find the Ethernet address of the NC-2 Print Server. The address is printed
on the configuration status report each time you turn the printer on.
4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP
address and print server’s node name. See the network administrator for the
IP address. For example, a print server with a name of printfast and an IP
address of 192.9.200.200 has the entry:
192.9.200.200
printfast
5. Add an entry to the arp cache for the print server’s IP address and
Ethernet address, as:
arp -s 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff
RS6000 (AIX) requires the ether option after arp -s.
For example:
arp -s ether 192.9.200.200
0:40:c8:0:0:ff
6. Check the printer to see that the print server is connected to the network.
Turn on the printer.
7. Send a ping command the NC-2 Print Server to verify it is running on the
network, as for example:
ping 192.9.200.200 or ping printfast
The NC-2 Print Server will not respond to this ping command but it will
read its IP address from the packets.
8. Turn the printer off and back on again and then send the ping command
again to verify that the print server obtained its IP address. A confirmation
message displays as:
192.9.200.200 is alive
9. Remove the entry from the arp cache using the following command.
Specify the print server either by its IP address or by its name, for example:
arp -d printfast
