PRO for Macintosh ver. 9.0

Appendix A

Setting up LPD Network

Setting up LPD Networking

The advantage of LPD Networking is that a mixed TCP/IP network of Windows

and

Macintosh computers may be used with FastRIP

. The remote computer will initiate

the print job, which is then sent to the Host via the Line Printer Remote (LPR) protocol.

The following sections describe how LPD Networking and the LPR Protocol are

configured and applied for both Host and Remote computers.

Installing LPD Networking and the LPR Protocol

Under Mac OS

For a Host Macintosh computer, the LPD Networking checkbox must be selected during

the installation of FastRIP

. This will ensure that the LPR protocols are installed on the

Host.

For a remote Macintosh computer, verify that the computer has been configured for

TCP/IP networking. Once TCP/IP is configured on the remote Macintosh, the LPR

protocol will also be available. For more information about configuring a Macintosh

computer for TCP/IP, consult the Mac OS Help facility.

Using LPR Protocol

For a remote Macintosh computer to use the LPR protocol, the PS Desktop Printer

Utility must be used to create a new desktop printer. This desktop printer will identify the

IP Address of the Host computer on the network, as well as the printer model to which

the raster data will be sent. The following steps describe how to set up such a desktop

printer:

1. Open the PS Desktop Printer Utility, and select the Printer (LPR) item.

2. When selecting the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file, click the Change

button to display a list of available printers. Select the printer to which

FastRIP

will be sending the raster output.

3. Once these settings have been entered, the desktop printer may be saved by

selecting Save in the File menu. This will create a desktop printer that is

selectable from graphics applications.

4. Start FastRIP

and go to Options>Output Selection. Here you enter the IP

address of the device (Host) and the Host Queue Name to configure.
