4-19 Fiery X3 on a network with UNIX workstations
Important note about the remote printer name
Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for remote printer (or rp in the
/etc/printcap file) in configuring the Fiery X3 must be one of the following:
print
hold
The remote printer or rp name is also used when setting up your Windows NT 4.0
workstation or server to connect to the Fiery X3 over TCP/IP. Enter the remote printer
name when you set up your Windows NT 4.0 printer, as the “Name of printer or print
queue on that (lpd host) server” in the Add LPR Compatible Printer dialog box (see
Getting Started).
Setting up the Fiery X3 on TCP/IP networks
Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery X3, must have a
unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). If the network is being set up for the first
time, it is a good idea to start out with addresses that can be used with the public
Internet. Contact your Internet service provider to obtain an address for the Fiery X3.
