ColorPASS on a network with UNIX workstations
When a UNIX workstation is configured with the lpd protocol and connected to the
ColorPASS over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the ColorPASS.
Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the
initial configuration, UNIX users simply submit print jobs to a named printer.
The job management tools, along with the other Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools,
are unavailable on the UNIX platform. A Windows or Mac OS computer on the same
network as the UNIX computer that is set up to use TCP/IP for printing to the
ColorPASS can use the job management tools to manage print jobs that originate from
all workstations on the network.
Tips for experts—UNIX workstations
Setting up the ColorPASS in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as
setting up any printer or new device:
•
A distinct IP address is required for the ColorPASS as well as for each workstation on
the network.
•
A name must be selected for the ColorPASS that goes with the IP address.
•
The IP address of the ColorPASS must be registered for the network in a host database,
and also on the ColorPASS itself.
•
At least one print connection (Print or Hold) must be published.
The following information applies especially to the ColorPASS:
•
The ColorPASS is a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.
•
The ColorPASS has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with
it successfully.
