UNIX 97
Sun Solaris 2.x configuration
Admintool is normally used to register remote printers on Open Windows.
However, it cannot be used here, as the data recipient and queue have the
same name. The procedure below must be used for registering a remote
printer.
If Solaris 2.x is connected to the remote printer for a long period according
to the system specifications, errors and forced disconnection may occur.
Therefore, if paper tearing, off-line and other errors result in waiting time,
printing may have to be aborted.
if an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or other
damage may occur. Configure after consulting the network manager.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (known as Solaris 8) and
an OKI printer as examples. The absolute path and method of configuring
commands may differ in other versions of the OS. Refer to the
workstation manual for more details.
1.
Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set.
2.
Log in as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have superuser
rights, the network manager should conduct the configuration.
3.
Register the IP address of the network card and the host name in /
etc/hosts file.
Example: for IP Address 192.168.20.127 and host name PRINTER
192.168.20.127
PRINTER
4.
Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network
card.
Example: for host name PRINTER
# ping
PRINTER
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP
address (the IP address has been already set manually or DHCP/RARP
server may run), or with the network.
