In other cases
Add the IP address and host name of the network printer to the hosts file on the computer used for
printing. Methods of addition vary depending on operating systems.
1. Open the hosts file using memo pad files, for instance.
The hosts file can be found in the following folder:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS
2. Add an IPv4 or IPv6 address and host name to the hosts file using the following format:
192.168.15.16 host # NP
"192.168.15.16" is the IPv4 address, "host" is the printer's host name, and "#NP" is replaced by
comments. Insert a space or tab between "192.168.15.16" and "host", between "host" and "#NP"
respectively, using one line for this format.
2001:DB::100 host # NP
"2001:DB::100" is the IPv6 address, "host" is the printer's host name, and "#NP" is replaced by
comments. Insert a space or tab between "2001:DB::100" and "host", between "host" and "#NP"
respectively, using one line for this format.
3. Save the file.
• When using a host name under Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008/2008 R2, with IPv6
protocol, perform host name resolution using an external DNS server. The host file cannot be used.
Printing Commands
The following explains printing operations using the "lpr", "ftp" and "sftp" commands.
Enter commands using the command prompt window. The location of the command prompts varies
depending on operating systems:
[Start] - [All Programs] - [Accessories] - [Command Prompt]
• Match the data format of the file to be printed with the emulation mode of the printer.
•
If the message "print requests full" appears, no print jobs can be accepted. Try again when sessions
end. For each command, the amount of possible sessions is indicated as follows:
• lpr: 5 (When the spool printing function is available: 10)
• ftp: 3
• sftp: 3
• Enter the file name in a format including the path from the directory executing commands.
