Information Systems:Setting up an IBM i printer

Steps

Configure basic printer settings

• Unbox, power on, and network the device.
• Access the web GUI, fill out device information (name, location, SNMP).
• Set static IP and other network settings (DNS, gateway etc.). Use an IP within the range for printers (check DNS server or do a network scan). Use Colosoft to scan the network for acceptable IP range. Confirm selection of IP address with nslookup. Leave Netmask and gateway unchanged.

• Give the device a hostname, using the convention (check DNS server for current printer names).

Set device up as a shared printer

• For printers that will be.
