Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing Configuring for TCP/IP Network Printing Most computers that support TCP/IP network printing use the Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol. This protocol was originally part of the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) version of the UNIX operating system. Remote LPD was quickly adopted as a de facto standard. As a result, Remote LPD is now supported by most versions of the UNIX operating system and by many TCP/IP packages available for other operating systems. Configuration of Remote LPD printing varies among vendors who supply TCP/IP. You may also use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for printing. Typically FTP is used to transfer files between computers on a TCP/IP network. The OkiLAN 6100e+ simply prints the files it receives from FTP. Remote Print Queue Name The Remote Print Queue Name determines which printer port will service the print job. The Remote Print Queue Name may also be used to specify ASCII print jobs. Both Remote LPD and FTP have provisions for specifying a Remote Print Queue Name. The OkiLAN 6100e+ looks at the last character of the Remote Print Queue Name to determine which printer port will service the print job. All Remote Print Queue Names should end with the number 1, 2, 3 or 4. If a number is not specified, the OkiLAN 6100e+ will use printer port 1. The OkiLAN 6100e+ is designed to handle many different types of printers and print data. Typically you will select the printer type for your printer in telnet under the Configure Port option. However, if you are connecting to an ASCII printer, you may wish to use the OkiLAN 6100e+ to format the print data for your printer. TCP/IP OKI OkiLAN 6100e+ User's Guide IV - 15
