2 Quick Setup SOLARIS 1.X , 2.X
Overview:
Quick Setup offers the experienced System Administrator a quick route to printer
installation and configuration.
Setup:
1. Verify physical cable connections from your printer to the network. SeeNetwork
Interface Guide
2. Assign XPrint printer an IP Address at the control panel. SeeAppendix B
3. Add your XPrint printer’s TCP/IP address and hostname to your NIS database. For
non NIS networks, add the TCP/IP address and hostname to your machine’s
/etc/hosts table.
4. Verify IP connectivity with the UNIX “ping” command.
5. TYPE: ping <49XX_hostname> [ENTER]
NOTE: To print, the command MUST return49XX_hostname is alive. If it does
not, then proceed to the TCP/IP Troubleshooting section of the manual.

NOTE: To print, the command MUST return49XX_hostname is alive. If it does
not, then proceed to the TCP/IP Troubleshooting section of the manual.

XPrint UNIX SYSTEM PRINTER DRIVER INSTALLATION3-2
CHOOSE YOUR UNIX VARIETY AND PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
Berkeley BSD UNIX:
Add following entry to the /etc/printcap file (as root). Use “ps” for “Remote Printer”
entry (case sensitive).49XX_hostname is host entry for the 49XX:
49XX:\
:lp=:\
:rm=49XX_hostname:\
:rp=ps:\
:sd=/var/spool/49XX:\
System 5 UNIX:
Use the following lp command sequence (as root). Use “ps” for “Remote Printer”
entry (case sensitive). 49XX_hostname is host entry for the 49XX:
/sbin/sh
/usr/sbin/lpshut
/usr/sbin/lpsystem -t bsd 49XX_hostname
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p 49XX -II any -s 49XX_hostname!ps

XPrint UNIX SYSTEM PRINTER DRIVER INSTALLATION 6-1
6 TCP/IP XPrint printer Configuration
Overview:
The XPrint printer by default receives its TCP/IP address dynamically from a RARP
or BOOTP server. To override this setting, you can set the TCP/IP address at the
control panel, by telnet, or by the PC and MAC Printer Services. To set up a RARP
or BOOTP server, consult your Solaris documentation. It is recommended that
initially, you set the IP address at the control panel.
The XPrint TCP/IP parameters Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are optional if you
are not communicating to your XPrint printer over a WAN. The default is
000.000.000.000. We recommend that you set both of these parameters if the
XPrint printer is on an inter-network with more then 1 segment.
Assigning your XPrint printer a TCP/IP Address:
Dynamic (default)
Configure the RARP / BOOTP server with the new TCP/IP and EtherNet address.
To obtain the XPrint printer EtherNet address, print out a Printer Settings page at the
XPrint control panel. The EtherNet address is on this page. (consult your Solaris
documentation for more RARP / BOOTP server configuration details)
Static
Perform steps contained inAPPENDIX B Setting the IP address at the XPrint
printer Control Panel

7 XPrint PostScript Print Tool Installation (Floppy
Disk)
Overview:
Xprint is supported currently in the Sun Solaris 1.X / 2.X operating systems.
The XPrint PostScript Print Tool is both aprint driver and a spooling daemon. The
XPrint PostScript Print Tool and print daemon work in conjunction with your Solaris 1.X
and 2.X printing and spooling mechanisms.
A floppy disk installation is advisable for a small number of installations at a site (1-5) or
for standalone workstations without a network connection. For greater number of
installations or simplicity reasons, use the network installation option of XPrint described
in Chapter 8.
Setup:
NOTE: Read the Installation Overview for your type of UNIX and select how your XPrint
printer will be connected before you perform the following procedures.
NOTE: You must be able to “ping” the XPrint printer, using its hostname before
proceeding.
NOTE: You will need the printer’s hostname before performing the following procedures.
NOTE: You must beroot to perform the following procedures.
1. Insert XPrint PostScript Print Tool installation diskette #1 in your system’s floppy
drive.
2. Run XPrint installation script:

XPrint UNIX SYSTEM PRINTER DRIVER INSTALLATION7-2
Solaris 1.X USERS:
3. From a command line, TYPE:
cd /tmp [ENTER]
bar xvfp /dev/rfd0 [ENTER]
XeroxInstall/setup [ENTER]
Solaris 2.X USERS:
NOTE: Volume Manager must be set up to recognize the floppy drive
4. From a command line, TYPE:
cd /tmp [ENTER]
volcheck [ENTER]
cp /floppy/floppy0/setup . [ENTER]
./setup [ENTER]
5. From the Install Print Driver and Utilities menu.

1) Install Driver and Utilities
2) Create an installation site.
3) Create Installation diskettes
e) Exit
Enter option:
Select desired option then answer all installation questions when prompted.
The Xprint installation script will automatically start when successfully installed. See
Chapter 4 Installation Overview Step 4 to determine the desired environment for
your XPrint printer.
