Printing from UNIX: Configuring the Operating System This section explains how to configure a printer for major UNIX operating systems. Sun OS 4.x.x (BSD) Configuration Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway 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. Example 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. 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 172.168.20.127 and host name PRINTER: 172.168.20.127 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 OkiLAN 8200e Network User's Guide 187

Printing from UNIX:
Configuring the Operating System
This section explains how to configure a printer for major UNIX operating
systems.
Sun OS 4.x.x (BSD) Configuration
Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway
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.
Example 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.
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 172.168.20.127 and host name PRINTER:
172.168.20.127 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
