TCP/IP Host Configuration (UNIX) Using PostScript utility files to control printer features from queues As you set up a spool queue for the printer, you can use the PostScript utility files provided with your printer's software to control printer features (for example, selecting upper or lower paper trays, or selecting print quality modes). See your printer's user documentation for more information on these utility files. UNIX model files The printer's CD-ROM contains UNIX model files. These files allow you to access printer features from the UNIX command line by using the -o printing option. On the printer's CD-ROM, the file model.tar contains the installer for the model files and model files for Sun Solaris, Hewlett-Packard, and IBM AIX workstations. Example installation for a typical BSD UNIX system The following procedure is an example spooler configuration that will work for many BSD systems, including SunOS 4.x and 5.x (Solaris 1.x and 2.x) and Digital UNIX. Modify the /etc/hosts file to identify the printer to the workstation and modify the /etc/printcap file to describe the printer to the workstation: 1. Log on to your system as root. 2. Make a backup copy of the /etc/hosts file. Note You need superuser privileges to edit this file. 3. Edit /etc/hosts and add a line that defines the printer's IP address and its name. The IP address you enter here for the printer must be the same address you specified as the printer's IP address when it was configured. The name is the name by which your workstation identifies the printer. (You will enter this same remote name in your /etc/printcap file in the next step.) Example 192.1.1.2 Phaser850 In this example, 192.1.1.2 is the printer's IP address and Phaser850 is the printer's remote name. 4. Make a backup copy of the /etc/printcap file.
