Return to Overview

The machine supports the LPD print application for printing over TCP/IP networks.

The following procedures are only examples. The setup procedures for your environment may differ.

• If communication via the IP address is not permitted in [Firewall Settings] on the Network screen, you cannot specify the spooling system.

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 → click [Browse] → [Printers] → [Edit] → [Add] → [Access to Printer] → in [Printer Name], enter the desired print queue name → in [Print Server], enter the IP address or printer host name.

• 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 hard disk, regardless of its spool settings.

• DIRECT
  The machine prints without spooling a print job on the 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 log, press (Status Monitor/Cancel) → [Print] → [Log] on the touch panel display.)
