Setting up TCP/IP for communication with the printer
1.
The superuser (root login) must add the printer to the IP host
table of the network or other system database of network printers.
2.
In the file or utility used by your network, specify the remote
printer name, the print server protocol, the queue, and the spool
file for the assigned printer name.
3.
Make the printer available to other network users.
4.
Verify the TCP/IP connection. From any workstation on the
network, access the command prompt and type the following:
ping <IP address>
After the printer is set up as a network printer, you can also type:
ping <host name>
The server should respond with a reply that includes the printer IP
address. Some systems will respond with a continuous display of
output from the IP address. To stop the output, press
Control-C
.
You can use the ping command at any time.
