Xerox DocuColor 2006 s, Manual

8.  Setting up the network server

Xerox DocuColor 2006

8–15

The DocuColor 2006 has a printer controller that understands lpd
protocols.
The remote printer name (rp in the /etc/printcap file) must be used for
successful communication and must be either 

print

 or 

hold

. The

remote printer name is also used in setting up Windows NT 4.0
workstations or servers that connect to the printer over TCP/IP. Enter
the remote printer name when you set up your printer in the Add LPR
Compatible Printer box.

Setting up the printer on TCP/IP networks

Every host machine on a TCP/IP network, including the printer, must
have a unique 32-bit Internet address (IP address). Workstations on a
TCP/IP network can print directly to the DocuColor 2006 as a remote
printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0 server or UNIX workstation
acting as a print server. Since the printer spools jobs and acts as a
print server, there is no advantage in placing another print server
between a workstation and the printer. If you choose to do so,
however, there is no difference in setup except that a client workstation
does not have its own spooling area.

Setting up printing on UNIX systems

1. 

Specify the appropriate settings in Server Setup.

2. 

Specify the appropriate settings in Network Setup. Enter a valid
IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address for the printer.

3. 

Specify the appropriate settings in Printer Setup. Publish the Print
queue and/or Hold queue.
