Job sent to an LPD input device with an AIX parent server

If the parent server of the LPD input device that you sent the job to is an AIX system, check these settings.
  • Make sure that the secondary computer is defined in the /etc/hosts.lpd file on the AIX server.
    The default is to deny input from all systems.
    1. Start SMIT.
    2. Click Print Spooling ⇒ AIX Print Spooling ⇒ Manage Print Server ⇒ Add Print Access for a Remote Client.
    3. In the Name of REMOTE CLIENT field, type the host name or IP address of the system that you want to allow to send jobs to the RICOH ProcessDirector server.
      Note: If you are not using Domain Name Services (DNS), you must use a numeric IP address.
    4. Press Enter.
