8. Setting up the network server The printer on a network with UNIX workstations When a UNIX workstation is configured with the lpd protocol and connected to the printer over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the DocuColor 2006. Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the initial configuration, UNIX users simply submit print jobs to a named printer. The job management tools, along with the other Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools, are not available on the UNIX platform. A Windows or Mac OS computer on the same network as the UNIX computer that is set up to use TCP/IP for printing to the DocuColor 2006 can use the job management tools to manage print jobs that originate from all workstations on the network. Setting up the printer in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting up any printer or new device: • A distinct IP address is needed for the printer and for each workstation on the network. • The printer is assigned a name that is associated with the IP address. • The IP address of the printer must be registered for the network in a host database and also on the printer itself. • The Print queue or the Hold queue (or both) must be published. lpd printing to the Direct connection is not supported. 8-14 Xerox DocuColor 2006
