For additionalinformation, refer to your operating system administrationmanuals.Configuring the IP Address on the PrinterFirst the SuperScript color laser printer must be assigned anIP address and routing parameters. We suggest you use theinstructions in Chapter 3 for using the printer Operator Panelto set the Net (IP) Address.Setting Up Your Printing ModeUse these instructions to set up the printer for SCO OpenServer Enterprise 5.0 and Solaris 2.x.Installing the Printer in Your Systemlpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printerdaemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network,without the need to install software on your workstation, andwith all filtering and banners done by the printer. Remoteprinting uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as localprinting.The process begins when the LPR call finds a printer on aremote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the/etc/printcap file for that printer. LPR handles a printjob for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpdprocess on the remote system and sending the data file(followed by the control file containing control informationfor this job) to the remote system. The printer-based lpd thenfilters the data and prints the job according to informationcontained in the control file and its own printcap file.The following sections give specific lpd setup instructions forvarious systems. The SuperScript 4400N printer will be usedas an example. You must log in as root in order to execute thecommands.Adding a SuperScript Color Laser Printer to Solaris 2.xLog into your system as root.
