Print Server User’s Guide

Printing using LPD
For LPD printing instructions, refer to your UNIX manual. The following example is
for a BSD system:
lpr -P printer_name filename
Where
printer_name is the name of the Print Queue defined on the Unix host.
filename is the name of the file you wish to print.
Example:
lpr -P Marketing /etc/hosts
In the above example, the /etc/hosts file is sent to the printer queue Marketing. It will
then be sent to the logical printer associated with this queue.
Printing using FTP
Details on using FTP are on page 39. Printing using FTP uses the following syntax:
#ftp Name
ftp>put FileName Ln
Where:
Name is the name of the Print Server
FileName is the file to be printed.
n is the number of the logical printer.
Example:
#ftp Marketing
ftp>put /etc/hosts L2
This example would print the file /etc/hosts to logical printer 2 on the Print Server
named Marketing.
Printing using FTP is NOT recommended, because:
•
There can be only 1 FTP connection, so at any time only one user can print,
even on multi-port models.
•
Print jobs are not spooled (queued).
Printing Using DSI
Logical printers must be configured on the Print Server as explained in
Logical
Printers on page 27. Your model may support 8 logical Printers. However, DSI on
the Print Server supports only 3 Logical Printers
Socket numbers are defined as follows:
Logical Printer No.
Socket No.
1
4010
2
4020
3
4030
