Next you will need to configure the print queue, using one of the
following three options:
Print Queue Option 1: Setting up lpd
(page 5-27)
Print Queue Option 2: Setting up RPRINT on BSD Hosts
(page 5-30)
Print Queue Option 3: Setting up RPRINT on System V
Hosts
(page 5-32).

Edit the file
/etc/hosts
(or
/usr/etc/hosts
) by adding a line
describing the XNIC as follows:
d d d . d d d . d d d . d d d s e r v e r _ n o d e _ n a m e
where
d d d . d d d . d d d . d d d
is the IP address that the XNIC
is assigned. The
s e r v e r _ n o d e _ n a m e
must match the
name entered in the
/etc/ethers
file.
For example, if the IP address is 138.239.111.111, enter:
1 3 8 . 2 3 9 . 1 1 1 . 1 1 1 X N E 8 8 E 8 2 9
On some systems, such as those using a Domain Name
Service, you may have to update the NIS master hosts
database. Update the DNS database instead of
/etc/hosts in this case.
3
Power the printer off, then power it on.
When the XNIC is restarted, the UNIX host receives the
RARP request from the XNIC and sends the IP address in the
/etc/hosts
file to the XNIC, which then stores it in memory.
4
Verify the newly assigned IP address on the XNIC by
printing a Printer Configuration sheet. Refer to page 1-11 for
instructions on printing the configuration sheet.
Caution
Be sure to write down the new IP address. Without it, you
will not be able to locate the printer on the network.
