Chapter 4

3Add the following line to the

/etc/hosts

table on your workstation:

printer_IP_address printer_IP_name

You obtain the printer IP address from your network administrator. You

choose the printer IP name yourself (if it was not assigned by the network

administrator). It must follow the naming convention of your system, which

generally means it must contain fewer than 32 characters and no special

characters.

Example

80.20.4.78 LaserWriterFloor2

4Type the following command to force an entry into your system’s

arp

table:

arp -s printer_IP_name printer_Ethernet_address

The printer IP name is the same name you used in step 3. You obtain the

Ethernet address from the startup page that prints automatically when you

turn on the printer. The address appears next to the top icon on the page.

Example

If your startup page showed that your Ethernet address was

08:00:07:2b:48:fb, you would type

arp -s LaserWriterFloor2 08:00:07:2b:48:fb

5Type the following

ping

command to store the printer IP address in the printer’s

memory:

ping printer_IP_name

The printer IP name is the same name you used in steps 3 and 4.

Example

ping LaserWriterFloor2

Normally, the ping command would result in a message telling you the

device received the

ping command; however, the printer will not respond

this first time, though it will respond normally in the future.

The address is now stored in the printer’s memory, and you’re ready to test

whether the printer is working.
