functionality” of NetWare printer server, PSERVER program running on

the NetWare server. A user first prints a job at a workstation, the job is

routed to a NetWare server, the NetWare server stores the job in a print

queue and then the printer server gets the print job from the queue to

printers.

Introduction

The printer server is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix LPD (Line

Printer Daemon) protocol. The LPD protocol originated with Unix release

is based on the BSD version of Unix and supported under most versions

of Unix.

This chapter explains how to configure the printer server for TCP/IP

operation, and how to modify configuration files on your Unix system to

allow printing to the printer server. The configuration examples in this

manual follow the syntax for BSD based Unix systems. Please refer to

the related system documentation for the correct syntax of your systems.

To configure the printer server for LPD printing, perform the

procedures below:

1. Enable Printer server’s TCP/IP Support.

2. Set up Printer server’s IP address.

3. Verify Printer server’s IP Address.

4. Configure remote LPD printing on the host.

5. Print a test page.

In the next sections, we will describe these five procedures step by

step.

6.2

Enable Printer server’s TCP/IP Support

The default configuration of the printer server is with TCP/IP support

enabled. Anyway, you can configure the printer server to enable TCP/IP

support using the configuration program.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

6.3

Setup Printer server’s IP Address

The printer server must have a unique IP address in order to be

recognized by the network.

You can set up the IP address on the various Unix systems using

any one of the following methods:

1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)

The printer server will use the last three methods to obtain its IP

address automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).

6.3.1

DHCP

There are many Unix systems that support DHCP protocol, and the

procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. This

manual does not describe the DHCP server configuration on the Unix

systems. It is highly recommended that the DHCP server should be

located on the same network as the printer server.

6.3.2

BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX

system that is accessible by the printer server, you can use the BOOTP

protocol to set up the IP address of the printer server. We recommend

that the BOOTP server should be located on the same subnet as the

printer server. If you use Network Information Services (NIS) in your

system, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP services

before doing the following BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map,

please refer to your system documentation.

To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will

need to log in the host of BOOTP server as the superuser (root). Perform

the following steps to add address entries,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the printer server’s

IP address. You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a

line such as:

203.66.191.12

pserver

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

2. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/bootptab file, similar to the

following:

hostname:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=print_server_ethernet_address:\

:ip=print_server_ip_address:

Lines should be indented with tabs.

Where hostname is the device name of a printer server, the ht=1 tag

specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the

Ethernet address of a printer server, which is the Node ID located on the

printer server. The ha tag must be preceded by the ht tag. The ip= tag

should correspond to the IP address you want to assign to the printer

server.

For example, a printer server with the following configuration:

Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet

address is 0000B4010101),

IP address: 203.66.191.12

The entry for this printer server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:

PS010101:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=0000B4010101:\

:ip=203.66.191.12:

6.4

Verify Printer server’s IP Address

To verify that your printer server is responding to the newly assigned

IP address using a PING command:

ping ip-address

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

6.5

Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host

The procedure you use to configure your Unix host(s) to allow

printing to your network remote printer server varies between different

varieties of Unix. The procedure below can be used for Unix variants

that are related to BSD Unix, such as SunOS or Linux. For other

versions of Unix, consult your system documentation, keeping in mind

that:

1. The printer server should be treated as a BSD networked printer

server host.

2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have

assigned to the printer server.

3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be

lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the printer port on the printer server.

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser

(root). To configure your Unix host for printing,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the printer server’s

IP address. You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a

line such as:

203.66.191.186

pserver

2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory

where spool directories are normally kept on the machine, such as

/var/spool or /var/spool/lpd:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

3. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/printcap file, similar to the

following:

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

printer-name:\

:lp=:\

:rm=203.66.191.186:\

:rp=lpt1:\

:lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\

:sd=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd:\

:mx#0:

Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can

be used, with variants separated by vertical bars (name1|name2).

The rm= entry should correspond to the IP address you have

assigned to the printer server. You can also use a host name if you have

assigned one in the /etc/hosts file.

The sd= entry should correspond to the spool directory you created

in the previous step.

The rp= entry should correspond to the port name of the remote

printer. The values should be one of lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3 depends on the

printer port.

The printer server should now be available for printing from your

Unix host.

following procedure:

This printer server supports WEP and WPA-PSK security mode. If

you want to use WEP encryption to protect your wireless network, you

have to select “WEP(ASCII)” or “WEP(HEX)”. If you want to use WPA-

PSK, you have to select “WPA-shared key”. The wireless security setting

should be the same with other wireless devices in the same network.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

WEP Security Mode:

You can select “64 bit” or “128 bit” length and “Hexadecimal” or

“ASCII” format for the encryption key. Longer key length can provide

stronger security but worth communication performance.

Enter four key values by following the rules below and select one

key as the default key.

PassPhrase – A passphrase simplifies the WEP encryption process by

automatically generating the WEP encryption keys for the printer server. This

setting is only valid when the security mode is in “WEP(HEX)”.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Key 1 to Key 4 – If the key length is 64-bit, enter 10-digit Hex values or 5-digit

ASCII values as the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef“ or “Guest“.

If the key length is 128-bit, enter 26-digit Hex values or 13-digit ASCII values as

the encryption keys. For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef“ or

“administrator“.

WPA-shared key Security Mode:

When “WPA-shared key”, also named “WPA-PSK” requires users to

select the advanced encryption methods, i.e. TKIP or AES and enter a

set of shared key.

TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every

10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than the standard WEP

security.

AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and

authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced solution defined

by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless network.

Shared Key – Enter 8 to 63 digits of ASCII format to be the key for the

authentication within the network.

When you finish configuring the wireless security, click “Next” to go

to next step.
