2. Click and hold on the file that is on your system and drag it to your IP browser’s
window.
3.
Click on [OK] to upload file.
The selected file is now sent to the printer.
Note: FTP printing does not support selecting multiple file names. Only one
person can be logged on to a port at any particular time.
7.4.3 FTP Client
To print from a FTP Client, do the following:
1.
Type: ftp <destination server ID>
2.
Type: port1 as the login
3.
Type: put <filename>
The selected file is now sent to the printer.
7.5 UNIX Printing
The Network Interface Board can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes:
Ÿ Host-based lpd where a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or more
workstations and print data is communicated to the Network Interface Board via a
TCP/IP port or,
Ÿ Printer-based lpd where the printer appears as a host running a line printer daemon.
In general, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD UNIX systems, requiring an entry
in the printcap file once the Network Interface Board has its IP information. Some UNIX
System V systems have restrictions on support of remote lpr/lpd printers, requiring that
the host-based lpr/lpd approach be used. For many operating systems, you have the
option of using host-resident printing or print server-resident printing. Each mode has
certain advantages.
Ÿ The host-resident method can print the username and filename on its banner page; the
print server-resident method prints a banner page with the host's name.
Ÿ The print server-resident method requires you to configure the printer only one time, when
you install the print server. The host-resident method requires that a printing daemon be
installed on every host that you want to be able to print jobs.
Note: The Network Interface Board will also operate with other host-resident print
supervisor/spooler programs that present a print image to the printer over a TCP/IP
port. The base TCP/IP port number can be changed via Telnet, or the Network
Interface Board HTML setup pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser. Remember,
the actual port is always one higher than the base port number. The Status and
Configuration page indicates the actual port number.
