Configuration and Setup 34 Configuring the C9 Server for your network and print environment Enabling printing from UNIX and UNIX-like workstations You can print directly to the C9 Server from any workstation that meets the standard specifications for UNIX and UNIX-like workstations. To create the printer connections, follow the procedures provided in the documentation for your UNIX or UNIXlike distribution. The C9 Server supports the standard UNIX printing options. For example, from the UNIX shell, you can use the lpr command to send the job, specifying the C9 Server remote printer name as a destination. The C9 Server supports the following remote printer names: • print • hold • sequential • name of virtual printer (virtual printers display as printer name : virtual printer name) As an option, you can set the C9 Server printer name listed above as the default printer (requires an administrator account with root privileges). On BSD workstations, edit the /etc/printcap file to specify the C9 Server as the remote printer (rp). On Solaris workstations, use the lpadmin command to configure the queuename. Configure user access You can configure user accounts and user groups through Configure. Users and groups Use Configure to create users, assign passwords to users, create groups with specific privileges, and assign users to the groups. Several groups are provided by default, and you can create new groups. All users in a group have the same privileges. In addition to assigning the users to a group, you can add users from your organization's global address list if you enable LDAP services on the C9 Server. The following topics are an overview designed to help you prepare a security strategy. You can view detailed information about users and groups in Command WorkStation. For more information, see Command WorkStation Help. User authentication The C9 Server uses user authentication to verify that the user who is sending a job belongs to a group that has printing privileges. You can control user authentication on the C9 Server from Configure in Security > Printing Privileges. Because jobs that are sent through FTP do not require a printer driver, you can specify that FTP jobs are authenticated. In Configure, see Job Submission > FTP Printing > Require Password for Printing.

Enabling printing from UNIX and UNIX-like workstations
You can print directly to the C9 Server from any workstation that meets the standard specifications for UNIX and
UNIX-like workstations.
To create the printer connections, follow the procedures provided in the documentation for your UNIX or UNIX-
like distribution.
The C9 Server supports the standard UNIX printing options. For example, from the UNIX shell, you can use the lpr
command to send the job, specifying the C9 Server remote printer name as a destination.
The C9 Server supports the following remote printer names:
•
print
•
hold
•
sequential
•
name of virtual printer
(virtual printers display as printer name : virtual printer name)
As an option, you can set the C9 Server printer name listed above as the default printer (requires an administrator
account with root privileges). On BSD workstations, edit the /etc/printcap file to specify the C9 Server as the remote
printer (rp). On Solaris workstations, use the lpadmin command to configure the queuename.
Configure user access
You can configure user accounts and user groups through Configure.
Users and groups
Use Configure to create users, assign passwords to users, create groups with specific privileges, and assign users to
the groups.
Several groups are provided by default, and you can create new groups. All users in a group have the same privileges.
In addition to assigning the users to a group, you can add users from your organization’s global address list if you
enable LDAP services on the C9 Server. The following topics are an overview designed to help you prepare a security
strategy. You can view detailed information about users and groups in Command WorkStation.
For more information, see
Command WorkStation Help
.
User authentication
The C9 Server uses user authentication to verify that the user who is sending a job belongs to a group that has
printing privileges.
You can control user authentication on the C9 Server from Configure in
Security
>
Printing Privileges
.
Because jobs that are sent through FTP do not require a printer driver, you can specify that FTP jobs are
authenticated. In Configure, see
Job Submission
