GDI printer is a printer that has built-in support for Windows Graphical Device
Interface (GDI), so it is no need to convert the output from Windows to another
format such as PostScript or PCL language. GDI printers are sometimes called
host-based printers because they rely on the host computer to rasterize pages.
Because of that, almost none of Print Servers in the market can support GDI
printer network sharing. The FPS-1011 implements a special technology which
allows it to communicate with the GDI printer as if it is connected directly to
your computer. With the feature, the GDI printer is easy to become a shared
device and you don’t need to worry about the compatibility with the GDI
printers anymore.
The FPS-1011 supports GDI printer in the most popular operating systems:
Windows 98SE/Me/2000 SP4 above/XP SP1 above. Not only be a GDI Print
Server, it can also act as a traditional Print Server. This Print Server supports
TCP/IP network protocol and LPR, RAW and IPP printing protocols. It is
compatible with a large number of normal printers in the various common
network operating systems including Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista and
Windows 7, UNIX, Linux and MAC OS 9.x above.
The FPS-1011 is the best solution for users to share GDI printer or printer
conveniently and easily. It offers the most flexible and manageable printing for
GDI printer or normal printer on your Local Area Network at an extremely low
cost and with an absolute minimal setup and maintenance required.

11.GDI Print Server Installation in
UNIX/Linux
The GDI Print Server is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix/Linux LPD (Line
Printer Daemon) protocol. This chapter explains how to set the GDI Print Server
with the LPD protocol in the Unix/Linux system. Following describe two modes
to configure the GDI Print Server. In the GUI Mode, we follow the settings in the
Fedora Core 4 system. If you are in different system, you can refer to the
configurations in the Console Mode.
2. Click “New” to add the printer with the GDI Print Server.
3. Click “Forward”.
59
4. Set the printer queue name and the short description of the printer and click
“Forward”.
60
6. Select the printer manufacturer and model and click “Forward”.
7. Please review the settings. If the settings are no problem, click “Finish”
8. To print a test page and apply all the settings, please click “Yes”.
9. If the test page is printed without problem, please click “Yes”. If it is failed to
print, please click “No” to go back to “Printer configuration - fedora” screen
and configure again.
61
62
11.2 Console Mode
To configure the GDI Print Server for LPD printing, perform the procedures
below:
1. Enable GDI Print Server’s TCP/IP Support.
2. Set up GDI Print Server’s IP address.
3. Verify GDI Print Server’s IP Address.
4. Configure remote LPD printing on the host.
5. Print a test page.
In the next sections, we will describe these five procedures step by step.
You can set up the IP address on the various Unix/Linux systems using any one
of the following methods:
1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)
The GDI Print Server will use the last two methods to obtain its IP address
automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).
11.2.2.1 DHCP
There are many Unix/Linux systems that support DHCP protocol, and the
procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. Please refer to
the manual of Unix/Linux for the way to use different DHCP Server. It is highly
recommended that the DHCP server should be located on the same network as
the GDI Print Server.
11.2.2.2 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX/LINUX system
that is accessible by the GDI Print Server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to
set up the IP address of the GDI Print Server. We recommend that the BOOTP
server should be located on the same subnet as the GDI Print Server. If you use
Network Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild
the NIS map with the BOOTP services before doing the following BOOTP
configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your system
documentation.
To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will need to log in
the host of BOOTP server as the superuser (root). Perform the following steps to
63
add address entries,
Where hostname is the device name of a GDI Print Server, the ht=1 tag
specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the Ethernet
address of a GDI Print Server, which is the Node ID located on the GDI Print
Server. The ha tag must be preceded by the ht tag. The ip= tag should
correspond to the IP address you want to assign to the GDI Print Server.
For example, a GDI Print Server with the following configuration:
Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet address is 00304F010101),
IP address: 203.66.191.12
The entry for this GDI Print Server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:
MF010101:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=00304F010101:\
:ip=203.66.191.12:
64
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the GDI Print Server’s IP address.
You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:
203.66.191.186 pserver
2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool
directories are normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or
/var/spool/lpd:
mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
The rm= entry should correspond to the IP address you have assigned to the
GDI Print Server. You can also use a host name if you have assigned one in
the /etc/hosts file.
The sd= entry should correspond to the spool directory you created in the
previous step.
The rp= entry should correspond to the port name of the remote printer. The
values should be one of lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3 depends on the printer port.
The GDI Print Server should now be available for printing from your
Unix/Linux host.

“Printer Model” to setup the GDI Print Server. Click “Add” to continue.
Printer Type: LPD/LPR
Printer Address: Input the IP Address of the GDI Print Server
Queue Name: The queue name of the GDI Print Server is “lpt1”.
Printer Model: Select the Printer Model that is attached to the GDI Print
Server.
6. The GDI Print Server is installed completely. You can see it in the “Printer
List”.
68
7. You can print a file to check whether the GDI Print Server is installed
successfully.
69
Appendix A Troubleshooting
Q1: The printer cannot be shared in the network.
A:
Check if the printer is a GDI Printer. If it is a GDI printer, please make
sure you have run the “Setup Wizard” and follow the instructions in the
manual to install the printer.
Check if the print server’s IP Address settings are in the same subnet
with your computer. For example, if your computer’s IP Address is
192.168.1.3, the print server’s IP Address setting should be
192.168.1.x.
Check if the printer you are using is in the “Compatibility List” in
Appendix or contact with your dealer.
A:
The following procedures will help you to check the current IP Address
setting of your computer. You can compare if your computer and print
server’s IP Addresses are in the same subnet.
70
z Your PC’s MAC Address is the one entitled Physical Address
(00-00-E2-82-C3-AD).
Q3 : This product is not found even after searching by the “Server Manager”.
A:
Check if the power adapter and the network cable are connected to the
GDI Print Server properly.
Check if the LAN and ACT LEDs are turned on.
Q5: The ways to change the IP Address of the GDI Print Server.
A:
A DHCP Server is installed in the network
If a DHCP Server is installed, you can setup to let the GDI Print Server
get IP Address from the DHCP Server automatically.
1. Open “Server Manager” and then select “TCP/IP” setting.
2. Select “Auto IP” and click “Save”.
3. Reboot the GDI Print Server.
71
Q7: When I use LPR, IPP or RAW printing, the printing jobs are not able to
print to the printer.
