RedHat Linux 9
The MICO-PS-3P can work under any Linux-based systems, including Slackware, RedHat,
etc, without any problems.
Basically, the Linux's printing system is based on BSD system. Although many commercial
Linux systems are available in the market and their commands will vary slightly, depending
upon which version is used, the functionality of the Linux-based variants is exactly the same.
Following are the outlined procedures (
recommended for all users
) on Red Hat Linux
7.2/7.3 or later with
X-Window
system installed.
1. Make sure that the TCP/IP is well configured on your RedHat system, including network
interface card's driver and IP-related settings say, IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway.
2. Log in
root
.
3. Assign Print Server an IP address. At shell mode:
c.1. arp -s <the IP address you want to assign to the Print Server> < Print Server 's Node
ID>
c.2. Execute tftp < Print Server 's IP> get config.txt and quit tftp.
c.3. Edit the config.txt and modify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP. When
done, save the config.txt.
c.4. Execute tftp <Print Server 's IP> put config.txt and quit tftp.
4. Start X-windows by typing
startx
at the shell mode.
5. Open
