Installing
Setting Up the UNIX/Linux Filters
About UNIX/Linux filters
In the Install Disk, the following filters for UNIX/Linux workstations are included:

net_okicolor (For a Color MFP)

net_okibw (For a Black and White MFP)
This file is a shell script that will be installed in “/usr/lib/lp/model”. It contains all the
parsing for the printer specific commands and it generates all the output code. Being a shell
script, a system administrator can modify it if a site requires any custom options or if other
components are installed in non-standard locations.

lpdsend
This is an executable program that is called by net_okicolor/net_okibw to send the print file
to the system using the LPD protocol. This program will be installed in “/opt/oki/tap/bin”.

lpLinux.sh (For the Linux filter)

This file is a shell script that simulates the command line functions of lp. After processing the
command line options, the filter is invoked in the same way as a System V print filter. This
file is installed in “/opt/oki/tap/bin”. A symbolic link to this file will be installed in the “/usr/
local/bin” directory as lptap.

okicolorBackend (For a Color MFP and its AIX filter)

okibwBackend (For a Black and White MFP and its AIX filter)
This is an executable program that is called by the AIX qdaemon. It receives the arguments
from the qdaemon, interrogates it for copy information etc. then calls the queues' copy of
net_okicolor/net_okibw to run the print. This program will be installed in “/opt/oki/tap/bin”.

okicoloradd (For a Color MFP)

okibwadd (For a Black and White MFP)
This file is a shell script that is used to create a printer description. This file will be installed in
“/opt/oki/tap/bin”. A symbolic link will be installed in the “/bin” directory that will point to the
actual location of this file.

okicolorrm (For a Color MFP)

okibwrm (For a Black and White MFP)
This file is a shell script that is used to remove a printer description. This file will be installed
in “/opt/oki/tap/bin”. A symbolic link will be installed in the “/bin” directory that will point to
the actual location of this file.

net_okicolor.1 (For a Color MFP)

net_okibw.1 (For a Black and White MFP)
This is an input file for the man command that supplies online documentation for the printer
specific options. This file will be installed in “/opt/oki/tap/man/man1”. A symbolic link will be
installed in the /usr/man/man1 directory that will point to the actual location of this file.

System requirements
For UNIX/Linux workstation, the following environment is required.
OS: Sun Solaris v2.6/2.7/7.8/8/9/10
HP-UX ver.10.20/11.x
IBM AIX 4.3.3
SCO UnixWare 7
SCO Open UNIX 8
Red Hat Linux 7.x/8.0/9.x
Red Hat Linux Enterprise WS2
SuSE Linux ver.7.x/8.x/9.x
Mandrake Linux ver.7.x./8.x/9.x
Turbolinux 8/10
Protocol: TCP/IP
Module: Python must be installed.

Notes!
• The “Python” module must be installed on your UNIX/Linux workstation to enable
printing. The “Python” module is usually installed in the “/usr/bin/” directory. Check
this directory whether the “Python” module is installed.
• The lpd service must be running on Linux system.
• Printing using local port is provided via Samba. Printing via Samba is performed
through either IPv4 or IPv6. To perform printing by using a local port that specifies
IPv6, IPv6 should be selected on Samba.

Precautions for using user authentication

The login name is specified as being case sensitive in the UNIX/Linux system, but not in the
equipment. Therefore, ABC, Abc, abc are treated as a different login name in the UNIX/Linux
system, but as the same login name in the equipment.

Configuring UNIX/Linux printing using UNIX/Linux filters

When you want to configure the UNIX/Linux printing using the UNIX/Linux filters, install the
UNIX/Linux filters and configure the LPR queue.

Installing the UNIX/Linux filters

UNIX/Linux Filters are provided as tar files for each Operating System. You can install them
by copying the tar file into the root directory and extract the file.

1 Log on to the root account.

2 Uncompress the downloaded file.

3 Enter the following command and check the output:

• For Solaris:
uname
Output on screen should be:
SunOS
• For HP-UX:
uname
Output on screen should be:
HP-UX
• For IBM AIX:
uname
Output on screen should be:
AIX

-4-
 • For Linux:
uname
Output on screen should be:
Linux
• For Open UNIX:
uname
Output on screen should be:
OpenUNIX

Note!
If the output is not as above, ask your administrator.

4 Copy the tar file onto the root.

A tar file for each operating system is included in following folders:
• Color MFP
- For Solaris: Color_Unix_Linux/SolarisFilter/Usa/
- For HP-UX: Color_Unix_Linux/HP-UXFilter/Usa/
- For AIX: Color_Unix_Linux/AIXFilter/Usa/
- For Linux: Color_Unix_Linux/LinuxFilter/Usa/
- For Open UNIX: Color_Unix_Linux/OpenUnixFilter/Usa/
• Black and White MFP
- For Solaris: BW_Unix_Linux/SolarisFilter/Usa/
- For HP-UX: BW_Unix_Linux/HP-UXFilter/Usa/
- For AIX: BW_Unix_Linux/AIXFilter/Usa/
- For Linux: BW_Unix_Linux/LinuxFilter/Usa/
- For Open UNIX: BW_Unix_Linux/OpenUnixFilter/Usa/

5 Change to the root (/) directory.

6 Enter the following command:

• For Solaris:
tar xvf solaris.tar
• For HP-UX:
tar xvf hpux.tar
tar xvf hpux64.tar (for 64-bit edition)
• For IBM AIX:
tar xvf aix.tar
• For Linux:
tar xvf linux.tar
• For Open UNIX:
tar xvf openunix.tar

7 The command extracts all the required files and installs them in the correct
locations.
Continue the procedure for configuring the print queue.
P.6 “Configuring the print queue”

-5-
Configuring the print queue
After you copy UNIX/Linux Filters, you can configure the print queue.
There are two ways to configure the print queue: one is creating a print queue using
okicoloradd/okibwadd, and the other is creating a print queue manually without using
okicoloradd/okibwadd.
P.6 “Creating a print queue using okicoloradd/okibwadd”
P.6 “Creating a Print Queue Manually”

Creating a print queue using okicoloradd/okibwadd

You can create a print queue using okicoloradd/okibwadd.

1 Log on to the root account.

2 Enter the following command:

Color MFP:
okicoloradd <queue name> <host name or IP address>
Black and White MFP:
okibwadd <queue name> <host name or IP address>

References
• This command creates a print queue using the system's lpadmin command. It also
creates a configuration file that has the destination IP address or host name. Use
the configuration file to change print queue parameters.
• The lpadmin command saves a printer interface file as the print queue name, and
the configuration file is stored in a file named <queue name>.conf. The interface file
and configuration file is saved in following directory.
- Solaris: /etc/lp/interfaces
- HP-UX: /etc/lp/interface
- IBM AIX: /opt/oki/tap/filter
- Linux: /opt/oki/tap/interface
- Open UNIX: /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces
• Under Linux, the printtool (or equivalent) utility must be used to add the printer
into the lp printing system after executing the okicoloradd/okibwadd command. For
printtool utility, refer to the manual of the OS.

Creating a Print Queue Manually

You can also configure the print queue by adding a remote printer manually.
The procedure varies depending on the operating systems.
P.6 “Creating a print queue manually on Solaris”
P.7 “Creating a print queue manually on HP-UX”
P.8 “Creating a print queue manually on IBM AIX”
P.9 “Creating a print queue manually on Linux”

• This file contains all of the default settings and values that can be set. These values
are case sensitive and must conform to the /bin/sh variable format. The interface file is
saved in the following directory.
- Solaris: /etc/lp/interfaces
- HP-UX: /etc/lp/interface
- IBM AIX: /opt/oki/tap/filter
- Linux: /opt/oki/tap/interface
- Open UNIX: /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces

2 To edit the configuration file manually, add a line that include parameters and
value.
• The configuration file is saved in following directory.
- Solaris: /etc/lp/interfaces
- HP-UX: /etc/lp/interface
- IBM AIX: /opt/oki/tap/filter
- Linux: /opt/oki/tap/interface

Setting Up the CUPS
When you want to configure UNIX/Linux printing using CUPS, you can use LPR printing or IPP
printing.

Note!
When printing using CUPS, the output paper size cannot be specified. If you want to
specify the output paper size, use the UNIX/Linux filter.

About CUPS
This section describes the behavior, options, and installation method of the CUPS printer driver
for the equipment. The behavior of the printer driver presented in this specification is consistent
with CUPS v1.1.15. The driver may appear and/ or operate slightly differently in different
versions.
In the CUPS environment, use a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file, not a printer driver to
configure the printing. The PPD file is included in this package.

Development Environment
The provided CUPS printer driver is supported on the following UNIX/Linux workstation.
• Red Hat 8.0 CUPS 1.1.18

Implementation Method
This driver consists of a PPD file that works in conjunction with an interface like XPP, KPrinter,
etc. It can also be used on OSX in the same way that it is used on Linux, but this is not
recommended.

Configuring UNIX/Linux printing using CUPS

You can configure the CUPS for LPR printing or IPP printing.

Installing the CUPS for LPR printing

The PPD must first be copied onto the local machine, the printer installed, and then the PPD
configured. The printer is then installed and configured using CUPS via the browser. The PPD
can be copied to the root directory and extracted.
After extracting the PPD file, restart the CUPS daemon.
The PPD is placed in the “/usr/share/cups/model/Oki” directory (which will require root
privileges and the Oki directory may need to be created). The PPD can be simply copied to
the appropriate directory and the CUPS daemon re-started.

1 Log on to the root account.

2 Uncompress the downloaded file.

3 Copy the tar file into the root directory by entering the following command:
Color MFP:
cp OKI_xMFP_CUPS.tar
Black and White MFP:
cp OKI_MonoMFP_CUPS.tar

- 14 -
 A tar file is included in the following folders:
• Color MFP
- “Color_Unix_Linux/CUPS/Usa/2-sided_default”
This PPD file enables to set 2-sided printing by default.
- “Color_Unix_Linux/CUPS/Usa/normal”
This PPD file enables to set 1-sided printing by default.
• Black and White MFP
- “BW_Unix_Linux/CUPS/Usa/2-sided_default”
This PPD file enables to set 2-sided printing by default.
- “BW_Unix_Linux/CUPS/Usa/normal”
This PPD file enables to set 1-sided printing by default.

Reference
When this equipment is used in Europe, install the PPD file enabling 2-sided printing
by default.

4 Enter the following command:

cd /

5 Extract the tar file by entering the following command:

Color MFP:
tar xvf OKI_xMFP_CUPS.tar
Black and White MFP:
tar xvf OKI_MonoMFP_CUPS.tar
When you execute this command, the PPD file and filter file will be automatically installed
in the correct directory.
• When you use other than Linux, or you do not use the CUPS system as the standard
installation, proceed to the next step.
• When you use Linux and also use the CUPS system as the standard installation,
proceed to step 11.

Installing the CUPS for IPP printing
When you want to set up an IPP print queue in the Linux OS, follow the procedures here.

When IPP SSL is enabled on the equipment

When the IPP SSL is enabled on the equipment, you require the following settings on Linux
OS.
• OpenSSL should be installed
• CUPS should be configured with “--enable-ssl” option
• HTTPS symbol should be created in the “/usr/lib/cups/backend” directory.
1. Open the console and login with root privileges.
- Use “su” or “sudo -s” to login with root privileges.
2. Enter the following command:
cd /usr/lib/cups/backend
3. Enter the following command:
ln -s ipp https
4. Restart the CUPS Service in Linux.
• IPP/SSL certificates in the “/etc/cups” directory should be created.
1. Enter the following command:
cd /etc/cups
mkdir ssl
2. Enter the following command:
openssl req -new -x509
-keyout /etc/cups/ssl/server.key
-out /etc/cups/ssl/server.crt -days 365 -nodes

Notes!
• The above command must be entered as one continuous command with no carriage
returns.
• The user will be prompted to enter country/state/province/locality/organization/
organizational unit/common name and e-mail address.

3. Enter the following command:

chmod 600 /etc/cups/ssl/server.*
* The “-nodes” option prevents the certificate and key from being encrypted. The cupsd process runs in the
background, detached from any input source; if you encrypt these files then cupsd will not be able to load them.

4. Add the following lines in the cupsd.conf file in /etc/cups path.

SSLPort 443
ServerCertificate /etc/cups/ssl/server.crt
ServerKey /etc/cups/ssl/server.key
5. Run the following command on the shell to restart the CUPS Server.
Service cups restart

PRINTING
Printing From Application
This section describes how to print from a UNIX/Linux workstation.

Notes!
• When the User Management setting is enabled, a print job sent from UNIX/Linux
workstations is processed as an invalid job according to the User Authentication
Enforcement setting. For more information about the User Authentication Enforcement
setting, refer to the TopAccess Guide.
• Before attempting to print from a UNIX/Linux workstation, make sure all the UNIX/Linux
Filters are installed in your workstation.

Reference
For instructions on how to install or set CUPS, refer to the Software Installation Guide.

Considerations and limitations

• This equipment acts only as a filter and not as a complete driver. The size and order of the
printed pages cannot be modified.
• The UNIX/Linux filters do not support the following engine-supplied features:
- Enlarge/Reduce printing
- Rotate Sort
- N-up printing
- Watermarks
- Cover Sheets
- Sheet Insertion
- Scheduled Print
- Print to Overlay File
- Store to e-Filing
- Use Overlay Image
• Linux uses the lptap command to send a file to this equipment.
Since lp is not supported in all versions of Linux, the lptap command should be used instead.
• AIX supports printing using the qdaemon. This can be invoked by the user with the commands
lp, lpr or qprt. In order to use the filter, either lp or qprt should be used.

Printing using lp command

Use the lp command (lptap in Linux) to send a file to this equipment for printing. This command
specifies various printer-specific options using the -o option parameter on the command line.
The lp command also sets other print options using various other parameters. Use the “man
net_okicolor” command to display the online document that describes the various options and
parameters that can be set to configure printed output. All the options are sent to this equipment
at the start of a print job so, if the print file contains its own commands, they may override the
lp options.

- 30 -
Generic “lp” and “lptap” options

How to print files

Enter the following “Ip” command to print files with the specified printer:
lp -d <queuename> <filename>

Copies
The number of copies of a print job is specified using the “-n <value>” parameter with the
“lp” command. The default value is determined by the “lp” command and it is always 1. The
copies are always collated.

Title
The title that is printed on the banner page can be specified using the “-t <title>” parameter
with the “lp” command. The default value is determined by the “lp” command and it is often
the name of the print file. If multiple files are printed using the same “lp” command the
default title is set to the name of the first file by the “lp” command.

General options
The options below are applied to all print jobs that this equipment handles.

Notes!
• Option commands differ from model to model depending on the options and paper sizes
available.
• Option commands are case sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown.
• Some printing functions may be disabled depending on the combinations of option
commands because priority is given to the specifications of this equipment over option
commands.

Print Language
The “net_okicolor” program needs to know what printer language is used in each of the files
that it is printing so that it can issue the correct commands to select various options. The
following options are valid for the print languages.
Option Value Alternative Value Description
auto Each file to be printed is examined to see if it starts with
the “%!” sequence. If it does, then it is assumed that it
is a PostScript file, otherwise it assumes that it is a plain
text or a PCL6 file.
pcl The print file is always treated as a plain text or a PCL6
file.
postscript ps The file is always treated as a PostScript file.
raw The file is treated as a fully formatted file that already
contains all the necessary commands. The file is sent to
the printer without any modifications. In this mode no
other options are valid and a banner page is not printed.

All PCL5e jobs automatically send the “<esc>&k2G” command to convert the line-feed
character into a carriage-return - line-feed sequence. If the PCL5e job contains some of its
own escape sequences it may override this setting.
The default print language is “auto”.
Example: The command to specify that a file is PostScript is “lp -o ps <filename>”.

- 31 -
Stapling
This sets whether a print job is printed with staples. When the optional Finisher is installed it
can be activated using the following option.
Option Value Alternative Value Description
staple=0 Stapling is turned off.

staple=1 Staple in the top left corner of a portrait page and the
upper right corner of a landscape page.
staple=2 Put two staples on the left side of a portrait page or the
top side of a landscape page printed on long-edge-feed
paper. This command has no effect when the paper is fed
from the short-edge side.
staple=3 Staple in the bottom left corner of a portrait page and
the upper left corner of a landscape page.
staple=4 Staple in the top right corner of a portrait page and the
bottom right corner of a landscape page.
staple=5 Put 2 staples on the right side of a portrait page or the
bottom side of a landscape page printed on long-edge-
feed paper. This command has no effect when the paper
is fed from the short-edge side.
staple=6 Staple in the bottom right corner of a portrait page and
the lower left corner of a landscape page.
staple=7 Put 2 staples on the top side of a portrait page or the
right side of a landscape page printed on short-edge-
feed large format (A3/Ledger) paper. This command has
no effect when the paper is fed from the long-edge side
or small paper size.
staple=8 Put 2 staples on the bottom side of a portrait page or the
left side of a landscape page printed on short-edge-feed
large format (A3/Ledger) paper. This command has no
effect when the paper is fed from the long-edge side or
small paper size.
staple=9 Put 2 staples in the middle of a landscape page and fold
the paper in half vertically along the staple line (saddle
stitching). This command works in conjunction with
booklet printing. This command has no effect when the
paper is fed from the long-edge side.

If this option is not specified, the printer’s default value will be used.
Example: The command to staple in the upper left corner of a long edge feed portrait page is
“lp -o staple=1 <filename>”.
The value for the stapling position depends on the paper size, the paper feed direction, and
the print direction. This function is not available for all paper sizes and the users should refer
to the Copying Guide or User’s Manual Basic Guide for a list of compatible paper sizes. In
particular, A5, A6 and statement paper sizes will not work with this function.

Note!
Select [Finisher] for stapling with the Finisher or the Saddle Stitch Finisher.
