After Executing the Installation Shell Script
The printing environment is set up automatically when the installation shell
script is executed.
This section describes setup contents when the installation shell script is execut-
ed under Red Hat Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX.
Linux
❖ Adding the IP address and host name to the /etc/hosts file
The following line is added to the /etc/hosts file. The IP address and printer
host name which you previously entered in the installation script will be
used:
192.168.15.16 nphost # Network Printer
• 192.168.15.16 is the IP address, nphost is the host name, from # to the end
of the line is the comment.
Note
❒ The /etc/hosts file contains a list of the IP addresses and host names of all
hosts communicating on the network. Each entry is delimited with a space
or a tab, and each line is separated with a return.
❒ If you do not use NIS or DNS, you must manually enter the IP address and
host name of each workstation using the network printer in the /etc/hosts
file.
❖ Adding an entry to the /etc/printcap file
The following entry is added to the /etc/printcap file, which is the configu-
ration for printing with the lpr command. In order to use the lpr command to
print, you need to edit the /etc/hosts file, add an entry for the network print-
er to the /etc/printcap file and create a spool directory:
##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE
np|Network Printer:\
:rm=nphost:\
:rp=option:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/npd:\
:lf=/var/log/npd-errs:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:
