8 To enable the print queue you just created, choose the following items from the SAM

menu, in order:

Peripheral Devices

Printers and Plotters

Enable a Printer

9When SAM asks for the printer name, type the IP name assigned to the printer as

described in “Step 3: Assigning an IP Address to the Printer,” earlier in this chapter.

10 Leave SAM.

11 Start the LP request scheduler by typing

/usr/lib/lpsched

12 To test the connection, once again type the

ping

command from a workstation on the

same subnet as the printer:

ping printer_IP_name

If the

ping command responds by telling you that the printer is alive on the

network, the address assignment was successful.

If the

ping command does not respond, or tells you the printer was not

found, then the address assignment failed. Try the steps in this procedure

again, making sure you type the printer’s Ethernet address exactly as it

appears on the startup page. If it still doesn’t work, see the troubleshooting

suggestions in Chapter 13 of the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS User’s Manual.

13 Test printing with the following command:

lp -d queue_name filename

If the test print doesn’t work

If the test document doesn’t print, follow these steps:

1Check whether the

rlp

daemon is running. At the UNIX prompt, type

ps -e | grep rlp

If the process is running, you will see one or more lines of text; if it is not

running, you will see no response.
