Operating system configuration This section explains how to configure a printer for major UNIX operating systems. Sun OS 4.x.x (BSD) configuration The following explanation uses Sun OS 4.1.3 and an OKI printer as examples. The absolute path of commands and the configuration method may differ between OS versions, so refer to the workstation manuals for more information. If an incorrect IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered, the network may go down or other damage may occur. Check the address with the network manager and confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set. 1. Log in as [root[ to the workstation. If you do not have Superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the configuration. 2. Register the IP address of the network card and the host name in the /etc/hosts file. Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127 and host name PRINTER 192.168.20.127 PRINTER 3. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network card. Example: for host name PRINTER # ping PRINTER If there is no reply, then there is a problem with the configuration of the IP address (the IP address has been already set manually or DHCP/RARP server may run) or with the network. Reset the network interface card settings to their defaults and then try to set a temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after resetting the network interface card, consult the network manager. UNIX 95

Operating system configuration
This section explains how to configure a printer for major UNIX
operating systems.
Sun OS 4.x.x (BSD) configuration
The following explanation uses Sun OS 4.1.3 and an OKI printer as
examples. The absolute path of commands and the configuration method
may differ between OS versions, so refer to the workstation manuals for
more information.
If an incorrect IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered, the
network may go down or other damage may occur.
Check the address
with the network manager and confirm that the IP address of the printer
has been set.
1.
Log in as [root[ to the workstation.
If you do not have Superuser rights, the network manager should conduct
the configuration.
2.
Register the IP address of the network card and the host name in the
/etc/hosts file.
Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127 and host name PRINTER
192.168.20.127 PRINTER
3.
Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network
card.
Example: for host name PRINTER
# ping
PRINTER
If there is no reply, then there is a problem with the configuration of the
IP address (the IP address has been already set manually or DHCP/RARP
server may run) or with the network. Reset the network interface card
settings to their defaults and then try to set a temporary IP address. If you
still have the problem after resetting the network interface card, consult
the network manager.
