6.1 Introduction
The HPS1P can use TCP/IP printing through the Unix lpd (Line
Printer Daemon) protocol. The lpd protocol is based on the
BSD version of Unix and is supported under most versions of
Unix.
This chapter explains how to configure the print server for
TCP/IP operation, and how to modify configuration files on
your Unix system to allow printing to the print server. The
configuration examples in this manual follow the syntax for
BSD based Unix systems. Please refer to the related system
documentation for the correct syntax of your system.
To configure the print server for lpd printing, perform the
following procedures below:
1. Enable the HPS1P’s TCP/IP Support.
2. Set the HPS1P’s IP address.
3. Verify the HPS1P’s IP Address.
4. Configure remote lpd printing on the host.
5. Print a test page.
In the next section, we will describe these five procedures in
depth.
