This topic provides an overview of TCP/IP configuration. For detailed printer configuration instructions, refer to
TCP/IP Printer Configuration (All Platforms); for host configuration instructions, refer to the topic for your environment:
PhaserShare Series B Ethernet and Token Ring interfaces support the following capabilities:
-
Print jobs.
The interface can accept print jobs sent via AppSocket,
ftp,
telnet,
lpr, or
lp
with
lpr
extensions.
-
Printer status.
The interface can report printer status through the following protocols:
-
lpq/lpc
(
lpc
for UNIX BSD systems only).
-
Syslog
(UNIX systems only). This protocol functions like a remote printer front panel for reporting printer status.
-
SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol; UNIX systems only). The printer's interface responds to status queries from host-resident SNMP utilities.
-
AppSocket.
This protocol allows a direct, socket-level connection to the printer.
-
HTTP
(HyperText Transport Protocol). This protocol allows communication with the printer via PhaserLink Printer Management Software.
