UNIX
The machine supports the LPD print application for printing over TCP/IP networks.
The following procedures are only examples. Depending on your environment, the actual setup procedure may differ.
1.
Log in to a workstation as a superuser → set up the spooling system.
Example using Solaris 1.x:
Example using Solaris 2.x:
Example using Solaris 1.x:
Add the following to the /etc/printcap file:
<Print queue name>|<comment>:\
:lp=<device special file>:\
:sd=<spool directory>:\
:rm=<printer IP address or host name>:
Example using Solaris 2.x:
Start the admintool utility → select [Browse] → [Printers].
Select [Edit] → [Add] → [Access to Printer].
Enter a name for the print queue in [Printer Name] → enter the IP address or name of the machine in [Print Server] → select [OK].
NOTE
The admintool utility is included with the operating system. For specific operating instructions, see the operating system manual.
You can specify one of the following print queues.
LP
The machine prints according to its spool settings. Normally, <LP> is entered as a print queue.
SPOOL
The machine prints only after spooling a print job on the machine's hard disk, regardless of its spool settings.
DIRECT
The machine prints without spooling a print job on the machine's hard disk, regardless of its spool settings.
When the job log appears on the touch panel display of the machine, <unknown> may be displayed as the document name and user name of print data transmitted to the machine over a UNIX network. (To display the job list, press (Status Monitor/Cancel) → [Print] → [Log] on the touch panel display.)

IMPORTANT
If communication via the relevant IP address is not permitted in [Firewall Settings], you cannot set the spooling system.
