5. Start the printer daemon for this new printer. Example: lpc start 6400 You now have a new printer which relies on LPR/LPD to print to a Ethernet Interface printer. Use the following command to test printing: Syntax: lpr -Pprintername filename Example: lpr -6400 /etc/hosts Printing from AIX Version 4.0 and higher of AIXR offers LPR/LPD support for network printing. This means, to set up a new printer under this operating system, you only need to use these two parameters: 1. Ethernet Interface IP address - the IP address or host name of the print server you want to print to. 2. Ethernet Interface destination/queue - a pre-defined name on the print server telling the device which I/O port to send the jobs to. You will most likely use "d1prn" for the PRN. Setting Up AIX 4.x 1. Ensure the 6400 AIX driver/colon files are installed on the AIX machine. Syntax: lsdev -P -c printer -F "type subclass description" | sort -u | grep 6400 If "ibm6400" does not appear in the list, the proper driver files are not installed. Obtain the driver files and follow the instructions included with them to install the files on your machine. 2. At the command prompt, enter smitty mkvirprt. Unix Confuiguration 5-11

5.
Start the printer daemon for this new printer.
Example:
lpc
start
6400
You now have a new printer which relies on LPR/LPD to print to a Ethernet
Interface printer. Use the following command to test printing:
Syntax:
lpr
–Pprintername filename
Example:
lpr –6400 /etc/hosts
Printing from AIX
Version 4.0 and higher of AIX
R
offers LPR/LPD support for network printing. This
means, to set up a new printer under this operating system, you only need to use
these two parameters:
1.
Ethernet Interface IP address
– the IP address or host name of the print
server you want to print to.
2.
Ethernet Interface destination/queue
– a pre-defined name on the print
server telling the device which I/O port to send the jobs to. You will most
likely use “
d1prn
” for the PRN.
Setting Up AIX 4.x
1.
Ensure the 6400 AIX driver/colon files are installed on the AIX machine.
Syntax:
lsdev
–P –c printer –F “type subclass description” | sort –u |
grep 6400
If “ibm6400” does not appear in the list, the proper driver files are not
installed. Obtain the driver files and follow the instructions included
with them to install the files on your machine.
2.
At the command prompt, enter
smitty
mkvirprt.
