Use

Printers that are not directly connected to an iSeries, but that communicate with the iSeries across a network using TCP/IP, require an entry in the TCP/IP host table. The same applies to PCs to be used for printing using access method 'F'.

Procedure

If you want to use your DNS server, you need to add your printer to the server. To connect your DNS server with your iSeries, do as follows:

  1. Enter the iSeries command CFGTCP .
  2. In the Configure TCP/IP screen, enter option 12 ( Change TCP/IP domain information).

    3. The Change TCP/IP Domain (CFGTCP) screen appears.

  3. In the Domain name server: Internet address field, enter the Internet address.

To add the TCP/IP addresses into your host files:

  1. Enter GO CFGTCP at the command line to call the Configure TCP/IP menu.
  2. Enter option 10 ( Work with TCP/IP Host Table Entries).
  3. Enter option 1 ( Add).
  4. In the Internet address field, enter the Internet address associated with the host, for example, 10.75.1.17 .
  5. In the Name field, enter the relevant host name.

Example

You can enter the name with or without domain:
  1. In the Text ‘description’ field, enter a text such as Printer in room 11 .
