Settings for Network Printers</H2>

</P>
<P class="western"><B>a) Network printer (LPD / Socket
/ IPP / Windows)</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">Most network printers
accept the "Socket" protocol, so in most cases you can choose this
setting. If the printer doesn't respond, you can also try the "LPD"
protocol.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">To reach a network
printer you need its IP address and the name of the print queue or
printer port.</P>
<P class="western" style="margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm">
</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western"><B>Server Address</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm">
In the field „<B>Server</B>“ enter the IP address (e.g.
"192.168.17.23") or symbolic name of the server the printer is
connected to.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm">
If you don't know the IP address, please read the manual of the printer
or printer server. In most cases the IP address can be changed in the
printer's or server's configuration menu.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western"><B>Printer</B> /<B>
Port</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm">
In the field "<B>Printer</B>" the name of a print queue on the server
has to be specified. Depending on the protocol different names are
used:</P>
<P class="aufzählung-2-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.8cm; text-indent: -0.5cm">
- With the<B> LPD</B>
<!--span style="font-weight: normal"-->
protocol you can enter "lp0" or "lp" for the first printer, "lp1" for
the second printer etc.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-2-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.8cm; text-indent: -0.5cm">
<B> -</B>
<!--span style="font-weight: normal"-->
For<B> IPP</B>
<!--span style="font-weight: normal"-->
printers enter the name of the print queue on the server – often the
prefix „printers/“ has to be added before the name, e.g.
„printers/myprinter“.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-2-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.8cm; text-indent: -0.5cm">
- For<B> Windows printers</B> the "share name" must be entered (the
share name is specified under Windows when a printer is shared for
network access).</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm">
The entry "<B>Port</B>" is used for the<B> Socket / Jetdirect</B>
<!--span style="font-weight: normal"-->
protocol. In most cases the value "9100" is used for the first printer
attached to the server, "9101" for the second printer etc. If you don't
specify a "Port" number, the default value "9100" will be used.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 0cm">

<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western"><B>Workgroup</B> and<B>

<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">(only for<B> Windows</B>
printers)</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm">
It is only necessary to enter the "<B>Workgroup</B>" name if your
computer belongs to a different workgroup than the printer server.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm">
Depending on how the printer is shared on the Windows computer you may
have to specify a user name and password.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm">
<B> Important:</B> The password is stored<B> without encryption</B> so
for security reasons it should be different from any login passwords!</P>

<P class="western"><B>b) File (only for expert users)</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">With this connection
type print data are written into a file instead of being sent to a
printer. This can be used for test purposes or to send printer data
directly to the printer later.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">In the field "Filename"
you have to enter the complete path including the file name, e.g.
"/tmp/printdata". Make sure that the print system (lp daemon) has
access to the specified directory.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm">
<B> Note</B>: Printing to files may have to be enabled in the
configuration file of the CUPS printing system. Edit the file
"/etc/cups/cupsd.conf" and add the line "FileDevice Yes" (or remove the
comment "#" in front of this line if it is already present).</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">
</P>
<P class="western"><B>c) other (CUPS URI)</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">With this connection
type the CUPS device address ("URI" - Universal Resource Identifier )
can be specified directly. This can be used to choose a printer
connection that is not offered in TurboPrint's printer setup dialog.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">An example for a CUPS
URI is:</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm">
<KBD>
<!--span lang="en-US"-->
ipp://servername/printers/printername</KBD></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">This would connect to a
printer named "printername" on a server named "servername" using the
"IPP" protocol.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">For details see the
documentation of the CUPS printing system</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm">
<A class="western" href="http://localhost:631/">
<!--span lang="en-US"-->
http://localhost:631/</A></P>
<P class="western">After choosing the connection type and specifying the
network parameters click on "Continue".</P>
