Enabling printing from UNIX and UNIX-like workstations

You can print directly to the imagePRESS Server from any workstation that meets the standard specifications for
UNIX and UNIX-like workstations.
To create the printer connections, follow the procedures provided in the documentation for your UNIX or UNIX-
like distribution.
The imagePRESS Server supports the standard UNIX printing options. For example, from the UNIX shell, you can
use the lpr command to send the job, specifying the imagePRESS Server remote printer name as a destination.
The imagePRESS Server supports the following remote printer names:
•
print
•
hold
•
name of virtual printer (virtual printers display as printer name : virtual printer name)
As an option, you can set the imagePRESS Server printer name listed above as the default printer (requires an
administrator account with root privileges). On BSD workstations, edit the /etc/printcap file to specify the
imagePRESS Server as the remote printer (rp). On Solaris workstations, use the lpadmin command to configure the
queuename.

Configure user access

You can configure user accounts and user groups through Configure.

Users and groups

Use Configure to create users, assign passwords to users, create groups with specific privileges, and assign users to
the groups.
Several groups are provided by default, and you can create new groups. All users in a group have the same privileges.
In addition to assigning the users to a group, you can add users from your organization's global address list if you
enable LDAP services on the imagePRESS Server. The following topics are an overview designed to help you prepare
a security strategy. You can view detailed information about users and groups in Command WorkStation.
For more information, see Command WorkStation Help.
User authentication
The imagePRESS Server uses user authentication to verify that the user who is sending a job belongs to a group that
has printing privileges.
