6. UNIX S ystem Netw or k
53
6.1 Introd uction
The print ser ver is a va ilable for TCP/ IP printing by
Unix LPD ( Line Pr inter D ae mon) protocol. The LPD
protocol originated w ith Unix r elease is ba sed on the B SD
ve r sion of Un ix and supported under mo st versions of Unix.
This chapter e xplains ho w to con figur e the print ser ve r

fo r TCP/IP operation, and how to modify configurat ion
files on your Unix system to allow print ing to the print
se r ver. The con figuration example s in this manual follow
the syntax for B SD based Un ix systems. Pl ea se r efer to the
related system docum entat ion for the cor rect syntax o f your
syste ms.
To con figure the pr int ser ve r for LPD printin g, pe rform

the procedure s below:
1. Enable P rint Ser ver ’s TC P/ IP Support.
2. Set up P rint Ser ver ’ s IP addre ss.
3. Ver ify Print S er ver’ s IP Addr e ss.
4. Configur e remote LPD pr int in g on the ho st.
5. Pr int a test pa ge .
In th e next se ctions, we w ill desc rib e the se fi ve

procedu res step by step.
54
6.2 Enable Print Server’s TCP/IP S upport
The default con figu rat ion of the p rint ser ver is w ith
TC P/ IP support enabled. An yw ay, you can configur e the
print ser ver to enable TC P/ IP support using the
configurat ion progr am.
55
6.3 Setup Print Server’s IP Address
The pr int serve r mu st have a unique IP addre ss in order
to be recognized b y the network.
You can set up the IP addre ss on the va rious Unix

syste ms using an y one o f the follow in g m ethods:
1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configu rat ion P rotocol)
2. BOOTP (B ootst rap Protocol)
The print ser ve r w ill u se the l ast thre e methods to

obtain its IP addr ess autom atically if it s IP addr e ss is
configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).
6 .3 .1 DHCP
There ar e many Unix syste ms that support DHCP

protocol, and the procedur es to configu re the DHC P ser ve r
database are different. This manual doe s not d escrib e the
DHC P ser ve r con figuration on the Unix system s. It is
highl y recom mend ed that the DHC P serve r should be
located on the sa me networ k a s the pr int ser ve r.
6 .3 .2 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on

your UNIX system that is ac ce ssible b y the pr int ser ver,
you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address o f
the print ser ve r. We re commend that the B OOTP ser ve r
should b e loc ated on the same subn et as the p rint ser ver. If
you u se Networ k In fo rmat ion Ser vice s (NIS ) in your system,
you ma y n eed to rebuild th e NIS map with the BOO TP
56
se r vices b e fo re do ing th e follow in g BOOTP con figurat ion.
To r ebu ild the N IS map, ple ase r efer to your system
documentation.
To con fi gure the IP addre ss data for the BOOTP ser ve r,

you will need to log in the ho st of BOOTP ser ve r a s the
supe ruser (root). Per for m the followin g steps to add address
entrie s,
1. Optionall y, assign a name corre sponding to the

print ser ve r’ s IP add ress. You can add this addre ss to the
/etc/host s file, b y adding a lin e such a s:
203.66.191.12 pserver
2. Add an entr y to the ho st’ s / etc/bootptab file, similar

to the following:
hostname:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=print_server_ethernet_address:\
:ip=print_server_ip_address:
Lines should be ind ented with tab s.
Wher e hostna me is the device na me of a print ser ver,

the ht=1 tag sp ec ifie s the h ardware type is Ethernet, the
ha= tag sp ec ifies the Ethern et addr e ss o f a pr int ser ver,
which is the Node ID loc ated on the p rint server. The ha tag
mu st be preced ed b y the ht ta g. The ip = tag should
correspond to the IP addre ss you w ant to assign to the print
se r ver.
57
For e xa mple, a print serve r w ith the following
configurat ion :
Node ID: 0000B4010101 (th is impl ies Ethernet
addre ss is 0000B 4010101),
IP add re ss: 203.66.191.12
The entr y for this print ser ver in the /et c/bootptab file
should be:
PS010101:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=0000B4010101:\
:ip=203.66.191.12:
58
6.4 Verify Print Server’s IP Address
To ve rify that your print ser ver is r e spond in g to the
newly a ssign ed IP add re ss using a P ING comm and:
ping ip-address
59
6.5 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the
Host
The proc edur e you use to con figure you r Unix host(s)
to allow printin g to your networ k remote pr int se rver var ie s
between diffe rent va r iet ies o f Unix. Th e procedu re below
can be u sed for Unix va r iant s that are relat ed to BSD Un ix,
such as Sun OS o r Linux. Fo r other ve rsion s o f Un ix,
consult your system docum entation, keep in g in mind that :
1. The pr int ser ver should be treat ed as a B SD

networked print se r ver host.
2. Th e host nam e should be the na me (or IP addre ss)

that you ha ve assigned to the print ser ve r.
3. The print er name (or queue na me) on the remote

host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the nam e of the p rinter
port on the print serve r.
You will ne ed to perform the tasks below, logged in a s

the sup eru se r ( root). To con figure you r Unix ho st for
print ing,
1. Optionall y, assign a name corre spondin g to the

print ser ve r’ s IP add ress. You can add this addre ss to the
/etc/host s file, b y adding a lin e such a s:
203.66.191.186 pserver
2. Create a spool d ir ectory fo r the pr inte r in the sa me

dir ector y where spool d ire ctorie s are normall y kept on the
ma chine, such as / var/ spool or / var/ spool/lpd:
60
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 /et c/pr intcap file, similar

to the following:
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 tab s. M or e than one

printe r name can be used, w ith var iant s sepa rated by
ve rtical ba r s (na me1|n am e2).
The r m= entry should cor re spond to the IP add re ss you

ha ve assigned to the pr int se r ver. You can al so use a host
name if you have a ssigned one in the / etc/hosts file.
The sd= entry should corre spond to the spool d ire ctor y
you c re ated in the pr e vious step.
The rp= entry should co rre spond to the port na me o f

the re mote print er. Th e value s should be one o f lpt1, lpt2 or
lpt3 depends on th e pr inter port.
61
The pr int ser ver should now be available for print ing
from your Un ix ho st.

i.e. TKIP o r AE S 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.
