CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 14
UNIX networks
• When you configure a UNIX workstation with the lpr protocol and connect to the Fiery
Controller over a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the Fiery Controller.
• Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the initial
configuration, UNIX users submit print jobs to a named printer.
• The Fiery Controller is a printer controller that understands lpr protocols.
• The Fiery Controller has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with it
successfully.
Regardless of the UNIX system you use, the name that you use for the remote printer (or rp in
the
/etc/printcap file) in configuring the network for the Fiery Controller must be one of the
following
:
print
hold
Computers on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery Controller as a remote
printer, or can print to a Windows Server 2003/Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 server
or UNIX workstation acting as a print server.
