Requirements for configuring LPD Before you can use LPD printing, your all-in-one must be properly connected to the network and have a valid IP address. This information is listed on the all-in-one network configuration page. You must also have the following: ● An operating system that supports LPD printing. ● Superuser (root) or Administrator access to your system. ● The LAN hardware address (or station address) of the print server. This address is printed on the all-in-one network configuration page and is of the form: HARDWARE ADDRESS: xxxxxxxxxxxx where x is a hexadecimal digit (for example, 0001E6123ABC). LPD setup overview The following steps are necessary to configure the all-in-one for LPD printing: 1. Setting up IP parameters. 2. Setting up print queues. 3. Printing a test file. The following sections provide detailed descriptions for each step. Step 1. Setting up IP parameters TCP/IP configuration parameters (such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway) can be configured on the all-in-one in a variety of ways. These values can be configured manually, or they can be automatically downloaded using DHCP or BOOTP each time the all-in-one is turned on. For more information, see Configuring IP parameters. Step 2. Setting up print queues You must set up a print queue for each all-in-one or personality (PCL or PostScript) that you use on the system. The all-in-one supports only one type of queue (raw). Therefore, it does not matter what queue name is given as the all-in-one will treat each one the same. The all-in-one treats data from any source as the same and has no provisions for adding carriage returns, tagging binary Postscript data, special PJL sequences, user-defined strings, etc., to the job stream data. This all-in-one also supports automatic PostScript binary mode stream detection, and thus it does not require (or allow) a special queue type for this service. Step 3. Printing a test file Print a test file by using the LPD commands or by using other methods provided for your OS. For instructions, see the information provided for your system.
