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. With Macintosh computers however, it is
easiest to use the built-in AppleTalk protocols to communicate directly with the
Colorwriter.
If the client workstation is a PC running Windows, set up the Colorwriter as a
Windows PostScript printer by installing the driver and the Colorwriter PPDs, as
described in Chapter 6. For setting up your networking software, see the
documentation for your networking application.
Printing to the Colorwriter
Once the Colorwriter has been properly installed on the TCP/IP network, users
should be able to send print jobs to a Colorwriter from most applications. UNIX
clients also commonly use UNIX printing commands to print PostScript files and
text files to the Colorwriter.
Administering Colorwriter print jobs
If you have superuser privileges you can remove any lpd jobs from the Colorwriter
queue; removing your own jobs doesn’t require special privileges.
TO REMOVE JOBS FROM THE COLORWRITER QUEUE:
•
On a UNIX system running SunOS 4 or other BSD-based variant, use the lprm
command to remove jobs from the queue.
lprm -P<printername> <job #…>
To find out the job number, use the lpq command described above .
For example, to remove job number 123 from the print queue of your Colorwriter
named printer, you would type
