    NetportExpress(TM) XL Print Server: Solaris 2.x LPD/LPR installation

    
    

    NETPORT EXPRESS(TM) XL: SOLARIS 2.X (UNIX)* LPD/LPR INSTALLATION

    
       Berkeley remote LPR/LPD printing on Solaris 2.x and NetportExpress(TM)
    
       XL 
    
    
    
       1. Using Netport(R) Manager, configure the NetportExpress XL print
    
       server for Berkeley lpr/lpd printing by assigning an IP address for each
    
       port which will have a printer attached.  Follow the instructions in the
    
       NetportExpress XL server manual for assigning IP addresses.
    
    
    
       2. On the Solaris 2.x host, for each IP address configured in step 1
    
       assign a unique hostname in the /etc/hosts file. (If using NIS, add the
    
       entries there.) 
    
    
    
       3. On the Solaris host, login as root and enter the following commands: 
    
    
    
           For a POSTSCRIPT printer:
    
    
    
            lpsystem -t bsd <NP_HOSTNAME>
    
            lpadmin -p <PRINTER_NAME> -s <NP_HOSTNAME>!PASSTHRU -I
    
       postscript,simple
    
            accept <PRINTER_NAME>
    
            enable <PRINTER_NAME>
    
    
    
          And/or these commands for a TEXT printer:
    
    
    
            lpsystem -t bsd <NP_HOSTNAME>
    
            lpadmin -p <PRINTER_NAME> -s <NP_HOSTNAME>!TEXT
    
            accept <PRINTER_NAME>
    
             enable <PRINTER_NAME> 
    
    
    
       Where <NP_HOSTNAME> is the hostname for the printer port defined in step
    
       2, and <PRINTER_NAME> is the name of the print queue being created. This
    
       step will need to done for each printer attached to the NetportExpress
    
       XL print server and on each Solaris host using the NetportExpress XL.
    
    
    
       4. Test the configuration by first checking network connectivity and
    
       then the printer configuration:
    
    
    
            ping <NP_HOSTNAME>
    
            lp -d <PRINTER_NAME> /etc/hosts 
    
    
    
          Where both <NP_HOSTNAME> and <PRINTER_NAME> are the same values as
    
       used in the above
    
          steps.
    
    
    
       5. See the Solaris man pages on lpsystem and lpadmin for additional
    
       options.
    
    
    
       An Example configuration: 
    
    
    
            lpsystem -t bsd intelp
    
            lpadmin -p intel_PS -s intelp!PASSTHRU -I postscript,simple
    
            lpadmin -p intel_TXT -s intelp!TEXT
    
            accept intel_PS
    
    
    
            accept intel_TXT
    
            enable intel_PS
    
            enable intel_TXT
    
            ping intelp
    
            lp -d intel_TXT /etc/hosts 
    
    
    
       This example defines two printer queues for text and PostScript*
    
       printing named intel_TXT and intel_PS respectivly.  The two print queues
    
       represent a single printer attached to one of the ports on the
    
       NetportExpress.  The NetportExpress print server  is defined in the
    
       /etc/hosts file as intelp.
