other errors result in waiting time, printing may have to be aborted. If an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or other damage may occur. Configure after consulting the network manager. The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (known as Solaris 8) and an OKI printer as examples. The absolute path and method of configuring commands may differ in other versions of the OS. Refer to the workstation manual for more details. 1. Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set. 2. Log in as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the configuration. 3. Register the IP address of the network card and the host name in /etc/hosts file. Example: for IP Address 172.168.20.127 and host name PRINTER 172.168.20.127PRINTER 4. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network card. Example: for host name PRINTER # ping PRINTER If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP address (the IP address has been already set manually or by the DHCP/RARP server), or with the network. Reset the network interface card settings to default and try to set temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after resetting the network interface card, consult the network manager.

other errors result in waiting time, printing may have to be
aborted.
If an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or
other damage may occur. Configure after consulting the network
manager.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (known as Solaris
8) and an OKI printer as examples.
The absolute path and method
of configuring commands may differ in other versions of the OS.
Refer to the workstation manual for more details.
1.
Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set.
2.
Log in as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have
superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the
configuration.
3.
Register the IP address of the network card and the host
name in
/etc/hosts
file.
Example: for IP Address 172.168.20.127 and host name
PRINTER
172.168.20.127PRINTER
4.
Use the ping command to confirm connection with the
network card.
Example: for host name PRINTER
# ping PRINTER
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration
of the IP address (the IP address has been already set
manually or by the DHCP/RARP server), or with the network.
Reset the network interface card settings to default and try
to set temporary IP address. If you still have the problem
after resetting the network interface card, consult the
network manager.
