7.4 Changing the Print Server Configuration
In order to change the print server configuration, a configuration file must be created. This file is sent
to the print server host using the
ftp
command. The best way to create the configuration file is to
download the file from the print server host via
ftp
for editing purposes. The following lines show
how it is done:
Go to the directory where the configuration file is to be created. Now start the File Transfer Protocol
and connect to the print server host:
% ftp 192.0.0.123
You will be asked for the username. The entry is arbitrary. List all files of the print server host:
ftp> ls
The FTP server on the print server host will respond like this:
200 PORT command successful.
150 ASCII data connection for NLST (192.0.0.120,9100).
sys5.sh
bsd.sh
aix.sh
params
status
226 Transfer complete.
41 bytes received in 0.11 seconds (0.37 Kbytes/sec)
The
*.sh
files are shellscripts for the installation as a „local printer“. The next file in our example is
the print server configuration file
params
. Get this file by entering the following command:
ftp> get params
Edit the configuration file. Any text editor (for example vi) may be used. To save the modified
configuration parameters on the print server please call up the File Transfer Protocol and connect to
the print server host. Upload the configuration file to the print server host:
ftp> put params
If the name of the configuration file does not match the file name on the print server host, you have to
enter the destination file name expected by the print server host:
ftp> put CONFIG.DAT params
The file will now be sent and the configuration parameters will be saved in the print server. The red
LED of the print server remains active during this process. This process lasts about 5 seconds. After
this, the FTP server responds:
226 Transfer complete.
Please end the FTP process:
ftp> quit
The print server restarts automatically.
