5.6 After the Configuration

Go to the directory from which you ran the nicinst or lpdinst procedure and delete the

NIC files. If you do not, these files might interfere with the configuration of any

subsequent NIC that you install.

Whenever you make changes to the configuration information, run the nsconfig utility and

then turn the printer off and on again.

If you have more than one NIC printer in your network, edit the nicprint.conf file each

time you use the nsconfig utility to specify the particular NIC you intend to modify. Or,

make a copy of the nicprint.conf file for each NIC printer, giving each copy a unique

name. When you use nsconfig, copy the unique file to the file name nicprint.conf.
