Configuration of your Print Server can be done using FTP. Models supporting 100BaseT can also be configured using a Web browser.
Both of these methods require that the Print Server device have a valid IP Address before you can connect to the Print Server and complete the configuration.
So the first step is to assign a valid IP Address to the Print Server, as explained below.
IP_Address NAME # comment
Where:
IP_Address is the IP address for the Print Server. In the next stage of configuration, you must enter the same IP Address into the Generic_name's internal configuration file.
NAME is the Generic_name's name. In the next stage of configuration, you must enter the same name into the Generic_name's internal configuration file.
# comment. Add the Default Name as a comment.
Example:
192.10.2.54 PS_Rm203 #Default name PS123456
In the example above, PS123456 is assigned the IP address 192.10.2.54 and the name "PS_Rm203".
arp -s NAME 00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz
Where:
NAME is the name assigned to the device.
00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz is the hardware address of the Print Server, as shown on the sticker on the base of the device.
Example:
arp -s PS_Rm203 00:c0:02:12:34:56
ping NAME
You should receive a response. If you get a Timeout message, the above procedure has failed.
During configuration, ensure that you assign the same IP Address as you used for the arp table entry, and the same name you used in the Host file entry.
If you have already assigned a Static IP Address using the procedure above, ignore this section.
For those wishing to use Dynamic IP Addresses, the Print Server provides support for 3 different methods. If its IP Address is left at the default value of 0.0.0.0 it will try to obtain a dynamic IP Address by using the following methods in sequence:
Using DHCP is only possible if you have DHCP management software, which allows you to take advantage of this feature. Otherwise, the Generic_name's IP Address will be unknown, and connection to it will be impossible. In this case, configure the Print Server for a static IP Address, as described above.
NAME:ht=ether:vm=rfc1024::ha=PA:ip=IP:sm=SM:gw=GW
Where
NAME is the Generic_name's name.
PA is the hardware address of the Print Server.
IP is the Generic_name's IP Address.
SM is the Subnet Mask.
GW is the Gateway IP Address.
ping NAME
You should receive a response. If you get a Timeout message, the above procedure has failed.
rarpd -a
00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz NAME
Where
00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz is the hardware address of the Print Server.
NAME is the name of the Print Server.
ping NAME
You should receive a response. If you get a Timeout message, the above procedure has failed.
This section describes all the configuration settings, which are relevant in a Unix environment. (The number in braces indicates the line number, as displayed in the Configuration file. If using FTP, use the line number to locate the desired field.)
To set or change these values, use FTP or your Web browser, as described in the following sections.
Logical Printers can be used to create a "Virtual" printer. For example, a logical printer could be used to print Unix-format text files for a DOS printer, by converting Unix-style LF (Line Feeds) to DOS-style LF/CR (Line Feed, Carriage Return) pairs.
Each logical printer has 4 data fields as listed below.
Print Server Port to which the printer is attached. (P1 to P3 for parallel ports and SP for the serial port) |
|
The printer control string (in hex) to be sent to the printer before each print job. |
|
The printer control string (in hex) to be sent to the printer after each print job. |
|
If ON, LF (line feed) characters are changed to CR+LF (carriage return + line feed). If OFF, no conversion is done. |
|
|
For those using FTP for configuration, the Configuration File line numbers for the logical printers are as follows:
Logical Printer |
Line Numbers |
L1 |
0100 to 0103 |
L2 |
0120 to 0123 |
L3 |
0140 to 0143 |
L4 |
0160 to 0163 |
L5 |
0180 to 0183 |
L6 |
0200 to 0203 |
L7 |
0220 to 0223 |
L8 |
0240 to 0243 |
The following data fields are available. To use SNMP, you will also need to import the appropriate MIB file into your SNMP management program. The MIB files are in the /MIB folder on the CD-ROM.

Only the following commands (usually case sensitive) are recognized by the Print Server. Where the command requires a parameter, the parameter is shown in italic.
List files. (as shown in the previous table)
Retrieve a file. The only files that can be retrieved are CONFIG and PSINF. Using GET with the other "files" will activate a command, as follows:
get DEFAULTC |
Set the Print Server back to its default configuration. |
get RESET |
Reset the Print Server. This also terminates the current connection. |
get PASSRESET |
Clear password (no password). |
get SETIP |
Set the current IP address as a static IP address. |
|
Do NOT use the SETIP command if the device has an IP Address assigned by a DHCP server. This will cause an Address conflict. |
Copy the file CONFIG to the device, overwriting the existing CONFIG file. Following this, you should issue a get RESET command to reboot the Print Server.
Copy the file PASSWORD to the Print Server, giving it a new password. Passwords can be up to 19 bytes in length.
Copy the file filename to the printer connected to Logical Port n, where n is a Logical Port number. This will print the file.
Terminate the current FTP session.
Print Server models supporting 100BaseT contain a HTTP Server, allowing configuration via a Web Browser, as follows:

There are 4 printing methods to choose from:
Select whichever is the most convenient in your environment.
LPD is a standard print method for most UNIX systems. The benefit of this method is that it eliminates the need to install additional software on the host.The problem is that in most cases the LPD protocol sends out the data file before the control file. The Print Server will print the data file immediately, ignoring any print options set in the control file. To solve this problem, use PSfilter instead.
Full details on LPD configuration are contained later in this document.
Direct Socket Interface (DSI) is a Unix-based method of providing a "direct" connection between a host computer and a printer. The host and the Print Server establish a TCP connection, using a special socket number. All data sent over this connection is treated as print data, and sent transparently to a logical printer defined on the Print Server.
Logical printers must be configured on the Print Server as explained in Logical Printers earlier in this document. Your model may support 8 logical Printers. However, DSI on the Print Server supports only 3 Logical Printers.
Socket numbers are defined as follows:
Logical Printer No. |
Socket No. |
1 |
4010 |
2 |
4020 |
3 |
4030 |
PSfilter is a proprietary print method provided with the Print Server. The benefit of this method is that it provides many print options such as banner print, copies, and so on. To use PSfilter, a C compiler must be installed on every UNIX host so that the PSfilter source code can be compiled into executable code and installed on the UNIX host.
The PSfilter program is shipped in source code as psfilter.c. Detailed instructions for installing, configuring, and using PSfilter are provided in the following files. These files, along with PSfilter.c, are stored on the CD-ROM in the following directories:
\driver\lpti\lpsource (text format)
\driver\lpti\tar (tar format)

If your system is not listed above, do not attempt to use the PSfilter method of printing. |
FTP is also a standard print method in most UNIX systems, but it is NOT recommended except as a test and back-up method of printing, because:
ftp 203.70.212.45
Connected to 203.70.212.45
|
Enter the name for this device. If you have not assigned a name, you must use the "Default name" (Server Name) shown on the sticker on the base of the unit. This name consists of 8 letters and/or digits.
ftp>put FileName Ln
Where:
FileName is the file to be printed.
n is the number of the logical printer you wish to print to.
Example:
#ftp Marketingftp>put /etc/hosts L2
This example would print the file /etc/hosts to logical printer 2 on the Print Server named Marketing.
LPD is a built-in printing protocol for most UNIX systems, and is also supported in Windows NT 3.5 or later.
Before proceeding, ensure that the Print Server has been assigned an IP Address. To setup your AIX system for LPD printing, perform the following steps.
start src -s qdaemon
Field |
Entry |
Name of queue to add |
Use a single-word queue name, which indicates which printer is attached. |
Hostname for remote server |
Print Server name as used in /etc/hosts.lpd. |
Name of queue on remote server |
Logical printer number (L1..L3 or L1..L8) to service this queue. |
Type of print spooler on remote server |
Use default value. (AIX Version xxx) |
lp -d printer_queue file_name
Where
printer_queue is one of the entries used in Name of queue to add.
file_name is the file you wish to print.
Before beginning LPD Setup, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the Print Server. Keep the following points in mind:
A remote printer is added by inserting the following line in the /etc/printcap file.
|
The entry is really one line, but can be entered as shown.Use a TAB character where shown. |
Printer_name|Remote_Printer_Alias:\
|
Where:
Printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the corresponding logical printer.
PS_NAME is the Print Server name defined in /etc/hosts.
Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the Print Server. (L1..L3 or L1..L8, depending on your model)
Spooler_directory is the directory you created in Step 6.
Example:
Marketing|RP1_PS123456:\
|
Repeat this process for each Logical Printer/Print Queue combination that you wish to create.
If using the command line, the procedure is the same as for System V. (above)
On recent Linux distributions, you can use the graphical X-windows interface instead of the command line. The procedure is described below, but may vary according to your version of Linux and X-windows shell.
Field |
Data |
Name |
Enter a name for this printer |
Spool Directory |
/var/spool/lpd/name_of_printer |
File Limit |
0 (no limit) |
Remote Host |
Name or IP Address of Generic_namee.g. SC3000014 Note: host file entry is required to use the name instead of IP Address |
Remote Queue |
Ln Where n is the Logical Printer numbere.g. L1 |
Before continuing, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the Print Server. Remember the following:
A remote printer is added by inserting the following line in the /etc/printcap file.
|
The entry is really one line, but can be entered as shown.Use a TAB character where shown. |
Printer_name|Remote_Printer_Alias:\
|
Where:
Printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the corresponding logical printer.
PS_NAME is the Print Server name defined in /etc/hosts.
Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the Print Server. (L1..L3 or L1..L8, depending on your model)
Spooler_directory is the directory you created in Step 6.
Example:
Marketing|RP1_PS123456:\
|
Repeat this process for each Logical Printer/Print Queue combination that you wish to create.
For LPD printing instructions, refer to your UNIX manual. The following example is for a BSD system:
lpr -P printer_name filename
Where:
printer_name is the name of the Print Queue defined on the Unix host.
filename is the name of the file you wish to print.
Example:
lpr -P Marketing /etc/hosts
In the above example, the /etc/hosts file is sent to the printer queue Marketing. It will then be sent to the logical printer associated with this queue.
Telnet can be used to monitor the status of the printers attached to the Print Server.
Establish a connection to the Print Server, by starting your Telnet program and providing the IP Address of the Print Server. (No port number is required.)
e.g.
telnet 203.70.212.45
The Print Server will respond with "Welcome to Print Server".
From the resulting prompt, 3 commands are possible:
The "Monitor" command will show the status of the printer, on each port, as shown in the following example.
(P1)STATE: Idle TYPE: Parallel PRINTER STATUS: Out Of Paper (P2)STATE: Printing TYPE: Parallel PRINTER STATUS: On-Line BYTES SERVICED: 75264 OCCUPIED BY: LPD (P3)STATE: Idle TYPE: Parallel PRINTER STATUS: Offline |
The display is updated once per second.
The following table details the Generic_name's CONFIG file. This information is provided for users who use FTP for configuration, and thus need to edit the CONFIG file directly.
The information in each column is as follows:
The line as obtained from the device. Each line has the following structure:
Line_number Token:Parameter
WhereLine_number is a system parameter and MUST NOT be changed.Token is a readable identifier for the line.Parameter is the current setting. A colon ( : ) separates the Token from the Parameter.
This column lists the values, which may be used for the Parameter. The following terms are used:
