1. Introduction

1.1 Product Introduction

Thank you for purchasing and use our FPS-1011. The FPS-1011 allows your printer or GDI/Host-based printer become a sharable device on the network.

GDI printer is a printer that has built-in support for Windows Graphical Device

Interface (GDI), so it is no need to convert the output from Windows to another format such as PostScript or PCL language. GDI printers are sometimes called host-based printers because they rely on the host computer to rasterize pages.

Because of that, almost none of Print Servers in the market can support GDI printer network sharing. The FPS-1011 implements a special technology which allows it to communicate with the GDI printer as if it is connected directly to your computer. With the feature, the GDI printer is easy to become a shared device and you don’t need to worry about the compatibility with the GDI printers anymore.

The FPS-1011 supports GDI printer in the most popular operating systems:

Windows 98SE/Me/2000 SP4 above/XP SP1 above. Not only be a GDI Print

Server, it can also act as a traditional Print Server. This Print Server supports

TCP/IP network protocol and LPR, RAW and IPP printing protocols. It is compatible with a large number of normal printers in the various common network operating systems including Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista and

Windows 7, UNIX, Linux and MAC OS 9.x above.

The FPS-1011 is the best solution for users to share GDI printer or printer conveniently and easily. It offers the most flexible and manageable printing for

10. IPP Printing


IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) Printing provides a convenient way of remote printing service by TCP/IP. The GDI Print Server can support IPP printing in

Windows 2000/XP/2003 by default. By using the IPP printing, you can share the printer to all the PC’s that can access the GDI Print Server by IP. You can even share your printer to Internet users.

10.2 System Setup

10.2.1 GDI Print Server Side

It is needless to do any setting on the GDI Print Server side. Make sure the GDI

Print Server has correct IP settings. If you want to share the printers to Internet users, you have to set a real IP to the GDI Print Server. You also have to make sure that any gateway, router or firewall does not block IPP protocol if you have these gateway devices installed in your network.

10.2.2 Client Side

You only need to perform Window’s standard Add New Printer procedure.

11. GDI Print Server Installation in

UNIX/Linux

The GDI Print Server is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix/Linux LPD (Line

Printer Daemon) protocol. This chapter explains how to set the GDI Print Server with the LPD protocol in the Unix/Linux system. Following describe two modes to configure the GDI Print Server. In the GUI Mode, we follow the settings in the

Fedora Core 4 system. If you are in different system, you can refer to the configurations in the Console Mode.

11.1 GUI Mode

1.

Select “Printing” from “System Settings”.

2.

Click “New” to add the printer with the GDI Print Server.

3.

Click “Forward”.

59

4.

Set the printer queue name and the short description of the printer and click

“Forward”.

5.

In the following screen, please configure as below. Then click “Forward” to continue.

Select a queue type: Select “Network UNIX (LPD)” as the queue type.

Server: Enter the IP Address of the GDI Print Server, for example:

192.168.2.253.

Queue: Set the queue name to lpt1.

60

6.

Select the printer manufacturer and model and click “Forward”.

7.

Please review the settings. If the settings are no problem, click “Finish”

8.

To print a test page and apply all the settings, please click “Yes”.

9.

If the test page is printed without problem, please click “Yes”. If it is failed to print, please click “No” to go back to “Printer configuration - fedora” screen and configure again.

61

62

11.2 Console Mode

To configure the GDI Print Server for LPD printing, perform the procedures below:

1.

2.

3.

4.

Enable GDI Print Server’s TCP/IP Support.

Set up GDI Print Server’s IP address.

Verify GDI Print Server’s IP Address.

Configure remote LPD printing on the host.

5.

Print a test page.

In the next sections, we will describe these five procedures step by step.

11.2.1 Enable GDI Print Server’s TCP/IP Support

The default configuration of the GDI Print Server is with TCP/IP support enabled.

Anyway, you can configure the GDI Print Server to enable TCP/IP support using the configuration program.

11.2.2 Setup GDI Print Server’s IP Address

The GDI Print Server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by the network.

You can set up the IP address on the various Unix/Linux systems using any one of the following methods:

1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)

The GDI Print Server will use the last two methods to obtain its IP address automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).

11.2.2.1 DHCP

There are many Unix/Linux systems that support DHCP protocol, and the procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. Please refer to the manual of Unix/Linux for the way to use different DHCP Server. It is highly recommended that the DHCP server should be located on the same network as the GDI Print Server.

11.2.2.2 BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX/LINUX system that is accessible by the GDI Print Server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address of the GDI Print Server. We recommend that the BOOTP server should be located on the same subnet as the GDI Print Server. If you use

Network Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP services before doing the following BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your system documentation.

To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will need to log in the host of BOOTP server as the superuser (root). Perform the following steps to

63

add address entries,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the GDI Print Server’s IP address.

You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.12 pserver

2. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/bootptab file, similar to the following:

hostname:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=GDI_Server_ethernet_address:\

:ip=GDI_Server_ip_address:

Lines should be indented with tabs.

Where hostname is the device name of a GDI Print Server, the ht=1 tag specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the Ethernet address of a GDI Print Server, which is the Node ID located on the GDI Print

Server. The ha tag must be preceded by the ht tag. The ip= tag should correspond to the IP address you want to assign to the GDI Print Server.

For example, a GDI Print Server with the following configuration:

Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet address is 00304F010101),

IP address: 203.66.191.12

The entry for this GDI Print Server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:

MF010101:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=00304F010101:\

:ip=203.66.191.12:

11.2.3 Verify GDI Print Server’s IP Address

To verify your GDI Print Server is responding to the newly assigned IP address using a PING command:

ping ip-address

11.2.4 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host

The procedure you use to configure your Unix/Linux host(s) to allow printing to your network remote GDI Print Server varies between different varieties of

Unix/Linux. The procedure below can be used for Unix/Linux variants that are related to BSD Unix, such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of Unix/Linux, consult your system documentation, keeping in mind that:

1. The GDI Print Server should be treated as a BSD networked GDI Print Server host.

2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to the GDI Print Server.

3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the printer port on the GDI Print Server.

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root). To configure your Unix/Linux host for printing,

64

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the GDI Print Server’s IP address.

You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.186 pserver

2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool directories are normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or

/var/spool/lpd:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

3. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/printcap file, similar to the following:

printer-name:\

:lp=:\

:rm=203.66.191.186:\

:rp=lpt1:\

:lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\

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

:mx#0:

Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can be used, with variants separated by vertical bars (name1|name2).

The rm= entry should correspond to the IP address you have assigned to the

GDI Print Server. You can also use a host name if you have assigned one in the /etc/hosts file.

The sd= entry should correspond to the spool directory you created in the previous step.

The rp= entry should correspond to the port name of the remote printer. The values should be one of lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3 depends on the printer port.

The GDI Print Server should now be available for printing from your

Unix/Linux host.

65
