It seems, that there is a bug in the /etc/rc-script. The bootpd
is given with to arguments -a -f, which are not available for
the bootpd under 3.3.
Make an entry in /etc/bootptab like this:
\#
\# host htype haddr iaddr bootfile
\#
printer 1 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
where
- host: your given hostname for the printer (eg. picasso)
- haddr: The Ethernet hardware address (Can be seen, if you
press the TEST-Key on your JetDirect box.
- iaddr: Is the hostaddress for the printer (eg. 192.42.172.1)
Entries have to be done also in the Netinfo-database. It's like adding
a new host.
Insert the following line to your etc/rc.local script:
\#
\# Starting JetDirect-Printer configuration
\#
fbshow -B -I "Starting Printer initialization" -z 92
/usr/etc/bootpd -d /etc/bootptab >/dev/console 2>\&1
