Re: Printer instalation

Hi,

first of all, the synonym ist just another name for the same printer. If you do not access the printer with different names, then hit enter.

How did you connect the printer to the network? Via printserver?

Hello Michael,

I think i got.

I edit /etc/hosts file and i add up the IP and HOST name for the printer.
Then i run printconfig and in the part where it ask the symbols.

Re: Printer instalation

Hi Michael

The printer server is the printer itself.

Here is the host file line i add:
10.251.21.194 KY54503B KYOCERA # Teste KYOCERA

And here is the Print cap file:

# POA - KYOCERA - TESTE
poafisc|lp17:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp17err:\
:lp=:\
:rm=10.251.21.194:\
:rp=KY54503B:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd17:

Thanks very much.

Re: Printer instalation

Hi,

the name you added to /etc/hosts is used in
rm=KY54503B
The port name depends on your printserver.
Is the printer directly connected to the network or by means of a printserver and then a parallel cable?

I need to know the printserver model and the printer model.

thanks,

Michael
