UNIX Workstations and Servers 12 UNIX Workstations and Servers Network Interface Card/Printer Installation Overview Section 1: Determine the network protocol(s) to be used for communicating to the Network Interface Card and the printer, the workstation platform(s) that will be used for creating and sending jobs to the printer, and any servers that will be used to spool and manage jobs sent to corresponding printer queues. You must use TCP/IP for UNIX systems.
UNIX Workstations and Servers The reference file for lpr is /etc/printcap. This file contains a description of the printer, the name of the directory where the job is spooled, the accounting file for the printer, the error file for the printer, and the filters used for any further processing of data before it is sent to the printer. The lpd provides access control through the following process: • All requests must come from one of the systems listed in either /etc/hosts.equiv or /etc/hosts.lpd.
UNIX Workstations and Servers Printer Installation/Configuration Automatic Installation The installation script on the TCP/IP utilities diskette is for UNIX systems only. The disk is in UNIX tar format. The install script is inappropriate for use on a PC or Macintosh system. Use the installation script to enter the host name and IP address for the Network Interface Card into the host tables of all spooling hosts. This script automatically places entries into /etc/hosts and / etc/printcap files.
UNIX Workstations and Servers 5. List the files you loaded by entering the command ls 6. Run the installation script by entering the command ./install.sh 7. Respond to the script's prompts. On BSD UNIX systems the installation script creates an entry in the /etc/printcap file for the printer you specified. The script also creates required spool directories and log files. Installing more than one printer. The installation script installs one printer at a time.
UNIX Workstations and Servers /etc/printcap File Edit the /etc/printcap file if necessary. The /etc/printcap file contains entries separated by colons (:). If an entry needs to continue on the next line, enter a backslash (\) at the end of the line. Make sure that the second through the last lines are tabbed, or the file will not be properly read. A sample remote printer entry for a printer called 8650 accessed through a remote BSD Unix host is shown below. The log file is / usr/adm/8650.

UNIX Workstations and Servers NOTE: On some systems, the ping command continuously displays messages such as: 64 bytes from 8650 (192.185.2.3) icmp_seq=0 time=3ms To discontinue the ping command, press delete or Ctrl-C. For more information about the printer status, use the lpq command: lpq -P Multiple Queues The Network Interface Card supports simultaneous printing from up to 12 queues. The card listens for lpd connections on 12 ports.
UNIX Workstations and Servers System V Systems SUN Solaris Systems If you have problems using the install script, do the following procedure to use lpd support from Solaris-based System V UNIX systems. These steps are similar for other System V systems. IMPORTANT: Before you perform any network setup procedures, make sure that all recommended print patches have been installed from the OS patch CD-ROM.
UNIX Workstations and Servers 5. Enter the following command to start the print scheduler: /usr/lib/lpsched 6. Enable the printer by entering the following command: enable 7. Enter the following command to make the printer accept connection: accept Using the admintool You can also use system administration tools (the Solaris admintool or HP/UX SAM, for example) to install the printer. However, you need to use the lpadmin command to actually add the printer as a new printer.
Printing 13 Printing Printing Modes - PostScript and Raster The Kodak printers supported are of 2 types. Models with the PS extension support both PostScript and Raster printing modes. Models with no PS extension support Raster mode printing only. Printing in PostScript mode is supported by using application software packages. Raster mode is a Kodak proprietary printing language that is more efficient than PostScript in terms of performance and use of special printer features.
Printing Changing between PostScript and Raster Printing Modes NOTE: If you are setting up a Kodak Digital Science™ Desktop Color Proofer 9000, you may wish to refer to the user’s guide for the Network Interface card shipped with the proofer for instructions on using the display/control panel 1. Press Setup/Select on the display panel when “READY” appears in the panel. Power Error Print Cancel scroll 2. Press “ Setup/Select until “SETUP:MODE” appears. ” 3.
Printing PostScript Mode Printing Printing from Microsoft Windows You can print from Microsoft Windows applications using FILE > PRINT. Be sure to use FILE > PAGE SETUP to setup or verify pertinent printing parameters such as paper size and ribbon type.
Printing Printing from DOS NPrint Print to the printer as if it were any other Novell print server. For example, use the Novell CAPTURE command to redirect one of the LPT ports to a queue serviced by the Network Interface Card.
Printing Printing from BSD UNIX Systems Kodak does not develop PostScript drivers or export modules for UNIX platform(s). However, other vendors do provide solutions in support of Kodak printers. These solutions support various UNIX/ Windows/Macintosh platforms and interfaces. For information, refer to “Getting Help” at the end of this guide.
Printing Some common System V print commands are listed below. Command Function lp Print defined file to default printer. lpstat -t Display status of all printing jobs you started with lp. cancel Remove a defined job from the print queue. lpc Type status after entering the lpc command to display the status of the printers. Printing from VMS Systems Printing with MultiNet™ on a VMS host The Network Interface Card works with a MultiNet stream queue on a VMS host.
Printing Raster Mode Printing Windows and Macintosh Platforms Kodak only supports printing in Raster mode through the use of Kodak printer specific export modules for Adobe Photoshop. To select the printer in Raster mode, select “Export” from the File menu to open a Select a Kodak Printer screen. Click on Network and/or Update to view and select printers that are in Raster mode.
Troubleshooting 14 Troubleshooting If you are having trouble printing, first verify that the standalone printer with no network interface connection operates correctly. Secondly, verify that the printer is configured correctly when connected to your network. If necessary, go to the sections that pertain to the specific platform and protocol used.
Troubleshooting Verify Network Connectivity 1. When the printer finishes initialization and the front display/ control panel displays the message “READY,” check that the LEDs on the back of the printer operate correctly. NOTE: Check the yellow LED only if you have 10BaseT cabling. • The yellow LED should illuminate and be in a stable condition. If the light does not illuminate or is unstable, check the connectivity between the Network Interface Card and the network hub switch.
Troubleshooting that are downloaded to the printer are effective when you restart the printer. • You may want to reset the printer to factory defaults from the printer’s front control/display panel. Refer to ”Printer Parameters” for instructions on resetting the printer.
Troubleshooting to define a preferred server (factory default setting). If you have any problems, you should define the preferred server as a troubleshooting precaution. NOTE: In environments with hundreds of servers, the printer logs in to the preferred server instantly (seconds) instead of potentially searching through hundreds of servers (minutes) to find the KSETUP file. In an environment with only one server, you may find it necessary to define that server as the preferred server.
Troubleshooting • Check to see if the print queue has been disabled. If the queue is enabled but your job is not in it, a workstation problem has prevented the job from entering the print queue. Check the workstation. • Check the print queue contents using the PCONSOLE command. • If the printer has not logged in (determined by using the USERLIST (3.x) or NLISTUSER/A/B (4.x) command), check the printers display panel for error messages.
Troubleshooting We recommend that you install the printer driver and/or the export module on each server and workstation on your network. When you set up the servers for sharing, install only the software relevant to the operating system for the server. AppleTalk Installations PostScript mode This section describes the troubleshooting process for AppleTalk installations of PostScript mode printers (in particular, the 8650 PS printer).
Troubleshooting - If the printer is installed on a network with multiple zones, check the other zones for the printer. The printer will boot up to the default zone that is supplied by the network router. - Make sure that the printer has been selected in the Chooser. - If background printing is enabled, open the Print Monitor and check for error conditions at the printer.
Troubleshooting • Do the initial steps listed in this troubleshooting section for the printer, connectivity parameters, and applications if you have not already done so. • Check the test print to verify that the preferred server is correct. In the examples below, 8650 PS printer is the host name for the Network Interface Card, and the host software is loaded in the directory /usr/local/kodak.
Troubleshooting No answer from If you are using the 10BaseT port and have nonstandard cabling such as AT&T or HP STARLAN, you may need to disable link integrity. Refer to "Disabling the Link Test Integrity Function" in the “Installing the Hardware” section for instructions. You can ping the printer but cannot print. The problem is with the lpr/lpd setting. Verify that the printcap entries are correct. Each line should begin with a colon (:) and except for the last line should end with:\.
Troubleshooting To enable telnet with the Network Interface Card, both jumpers (JP1/JP2) on the card must be in the “ON” position (jumpered). If 10BaseT is the connection to the network, these jumpers may be left in place to accommodate both telnet capabilities and normal operation. Telnet parameters are IP Address and Port. The IP Address must be the one assigned to the printer, and the Port must be 2002 (NIC diagnostic Port #).
