Ricoh AP610N - Aficio B/W Laser Printer Supplementary Manual

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 configuration

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 printer to the

/etc/printcap file and create a spool directory:

##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE

np|Network Printer:|np|Network Printer:|np|Network Print-

er:|np|Network Printer:\

:rm=nphost:\

:rp=option:\

:sd=/var/spool/lpd/npd:\

:lf=/var/log/npd-errs:\

:sh:\

:mx#0:

Note

❒ The /etc/printcap file is used to register the name and attributes of a printer.

You must make an entry for the network printer in the /etc/printcap file of all

workstations using the network printer.

❒ You must make an entry for each printer option when using the same printer.

❒ Each entry is separated with colons into several fields. The syntax is to begin

each entry with a colon, followed by the entry, and then end with a colon, a

back slash, and then a return.

❒ The first line of the field is the name of the printer. You use this name when

logging on to a network printer from a workstation. You can define several

different names by separating each name with the "|" character.

❒ The second and following lines contain the printer's attributes. Attributes

are represented by two-character names referred to as capabilities. For

more information about capabilities, see the following table:
