5 5-3 Ethernet cable connection Ethernet cable connection The Colorwriter supports the following types of Ethernet cables: • Thinnet (thin coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base2) Uses an optional external transceiver (media attachment unit, or MAU), such as the DECXM-AA, to attach to the AUI (attachment unit interface) connector on the Ethernet interface of the Colorwriter.
5 5-4 Verifying the network connection Verifying the network connection Print a sample document. If the document fails to print, verify the setup and check the printer control panel for error messages. Print a few test documents from a networked computer that will use the Colorwriter.
5 5-5 UNIX server print queues Setting up the Colorwriter printing environment To set up Colorwriter printing on TCP/IP networks, the network administrator must follow these steps: • Specify the appropriate settings in the Colorwriter Printer Setup and Network Setup on the printer control panel. The administrator must enter a valid IP address for the Colorwriter. In addition, if the TCP/IP network uses a gateway, enter the gateway address. If it uses a subnet mask, enter the value of the subnet mask.
5 5-6 UNIX server print queues N OTE : In these examples, we’ll use colorwriter as the printer name (the IP host name), and colorwriterq as the name of the Colorwriter Print queue. Since the Colorwriter supports only one queue at a time, you can use the same name for the hostname and the queuename. However, the examples indicate where you should make a distinction if you want to use different names. N OTE : For SGI workstations running IRIX 5, first load the lpd package from the IRIX installation CD.
5 5-7 UNIX server print queues T O SET UP C OLORWRITER PRINTING ON A UNIX UNIX OR OTHER BSD- BASED VARIANT : SYSTEM RUNNING D IGITAL 1. On a workstation that will print to the Colorwriter, log in to your UNIX host as the root user. 2. Create an entry for the Colorwriter in your /etc/printcap file. The following is a sample printcap entry for the Colorwriter. Note that the remote host name you enter in the rm line must exactly match the name you entered in the /etc/hosts file.
5 5-8 TO SET UP UNIX server print queues C OLORWRITER PRINTING ON A UNIX SYSTEM RUNNING S OLARIS 2: 1.

5 5-13 UNIX server print queues p1-p8 for the /PARAMETER=(p1,...,p8) field Most systems do not require additional symbols to be setup so do the following: Enter symbol name: q Symbol type value ------------Error log file: if STR /SYS$SPECIFIC/UCX_LPD/MAGENTA.
5 5-14 Verifying the TCP/IP connection Verifying the TCP/IP connection The Colorwriter is shipped from the factory with an invalid IP (Internet Protocol) address assigned in the setup. The IP address is used on all TCP/IP networks and must always be assigned before the Colorwriter can be verified across the network. Setup also provides options to change the subnet mask and gateway address. Only some customer sites will require these values to be entered in Setup.
5 5-15 Verifying the TCP/IP connection • Have the network administrator reenter the Colorwriter IP address in Network Setup. Setting up the TCP/IP client If the Colorwriter is being added to an existing network, each TCP/IP client is already running TCP/IP client software. Colorwriter supports TCP/IP client software on UNIX workstations, PC compatibles, and Macintosh computers.
5 5-16 Verifying the TCP/IP connection lprm -Pprinter 123 The lprm command reports the names of any files it removes. • On a UNIX system running Digital UNIX, use the cancel command to remove jobs from the queue. Type: cancel For example, to remove a job whose ID is printer-123 from the print queue of your Colorwriter, type: cancel printer-123 To find out the job ID, use the lpstat command. For information on the lpstat command, see Chapter 5 of the User Guide.
