Part No. 6B4389   June 1999

Refer to notes on Unix support at the beginning of this chapter 
regarding support for Unix platforms.

 Assign an IP address to the printer (NIC) using the printer’s front 
control panel or by using utilities described in the “Using 
Configuration Utilities.” 

The configuration procedure for Unix TCP/IP printing includes the 
following steps on a Unix workstation:

— Adding the 8670 printer to the host table.

— Assigning a print queue.

— Setting up the remote printer.

— Creating a spool directory.

Use an editor to add an entry to the hosts file containing the IP 
address and node name of the NIC. An example of an IP address 
and node are:

1982.189.207.3           KOD_00C351

NOTE: Some systems such as HP/UX and AIX allow you to enter 

the IP address as the host name when setting up the print 
queue. In this case you do not need to configure the /etc/
hosts file.

Choose the NIC service you wish to use. 

Modify the /etc/printcap file to set up the remote printer for most 
Unix systems. If you have an RS/6000 AIX, HP/US, Sun Solaris 
2.xx, and other systems that do not use the printcap file, skip to 
the appropriate section for the Unix system you have to configure 
the Unix workstations for TCP/IP.
