chown

bin.daemon /var/spool/hp5l

chmod

775 /var/spool/hp5l

5.

Add an entry for the printer to

/etc/printcap

, similar to the following:

hp5l:\

:lp=:sd=/var/spool/hp5l :mx#0:\

:rm=ps-142634:rp=ps-142634-p1:

The meaning of each of the entries is described below. The directory path in the

sd

spool directory entry should match the directory name you created above. If

your entry requires more than one line you can escape the newline with a

backslash.

6.

Issue the command

lpc

start

hp5l

to start a spool daemon for the printer. The printer will now be available for use.

7.

Optionally, add another printcap entry (and issue another

lpc start

command)

for a second printer, using the

port_TEXT

port. This second printer name can be

used for printing text files.

Entries in

/ect/printcap

begin with a name for the printer or a list of name,

separated by | (a vertical bar). The entries used above are:

◆

lp=

The lp entry is used to specify a local printer device.

Since the printer is a remote printer, this entry should be blank.

Page 122 / 154

117

◆

sd=dir

The location of the printer’s local spool directory.

◆

mx#blocks

The limit for print job files in the local spool directory;

0 means no limit.

◆

rm=address

The host where the remote printer is located, in this case

the D-Link print server.

◆

rp=printer

The name of the printer on the remote host.

For the D-Link print server, the port name should be used.

Note: this entry is case-sensitive.

Printing from SCO Unix System V/386

To allow printing to a printer attached to your D-LINK network print server from a

SCO Unix System V/386 host.

1.

Login as the superuser (root).

2.

Add an entry for the print server in the host’s

/etc/hosts

file, giving a hostname

for the print server’s IP address. A line in

/etc/hosts

contains an IP address

and one or more aliases for the host. For example:

202.39.74.40

ps-142634

ps-142634.dlink.com.tw

If you use DNS (the Domain Naming Services protocol), you can add an address

record entry to your DNS database for the print server.

3.

Change to the

/dev

directory, and issue the command

mkdev rlp

4.

The script will ask:

Do you want to install or delet remote printing (i/d/q)?

Answer

i

and press Enter to continue.

5.

The script will ask:

Do you want to change the remote printer description file

/etc/printcap (y/n)?

Answer y and press Enter to continue.

6.

The script will ask:

Please enter the printer name (q to quit):

Enter an alias for the printer on the local machine and press Enter. This name

should be the same as the destination port name.

7.

Answer r (remote printer) to the question

Is printer a remote printer or a local printer (r/l)?

8.

When prompted with the question:

Please enter the name of the remote host that printer is attached

to:

then enter the address of the D-Link print server. You can use the name you

added to /etc/host in the step above.

9.

Confirm that your entries are correct.

Is this correct? (y/n)

10.

Answer the question:

Would you like this to be the system default printer? (y/n)

11.

When you are done adding remote printers, enter q for the printer name.

12.

Answer y to the question

Do you want to start remote daemon now (y/n)?

Once remote printing is set up, you can use the

lp

command to print jobs to the new

printer. For more information, consult your SCO Unix documentation.

Printing from Solaris

To allow printing from a Sun Solaris workstation,

1.

Log in as the superuser (root).

2.

Add an entry for the print server in the host’s

/etc/hosts

file, giving a hostname

for the print server’s IP address. A line in

/etc/hosts

contains an IP address

and one or more aliases for the host . For example:

202.39.74.40

ps-142634

ps-142634.dlink.com.tw

If you use DNS (the Domain Naming Services protocol), you can add an address

record entry to your DNS database for the print server.

3.

In OpenWindows, start the

admintool

program.

4.

Click on the

Printer Manger

icon.

5.

From the

Edit

menu, select

Add Print

, then

Add Access to Remote Printer…

6.

Enter values for the fields as follow:

◊

Printer Name

This field should contain the name of the printer port you wish to

use. The field is case-sensitive.

◊

Printer Server

This field should contain the IP address of the print server, or

the alias name you added in step 2.

◊

Printer Server OS

This field should be set to BSD.

7.

Confirm the addition.

8.

Optionally repeat the addition to add another printer for printing text files,

with

_TEXT

appended to the port name.

Once you have added the new printer, you can use the

lp

command to print files to

the printer. Consult your Solaris documentation for details.
