LPD Setup Overview
The following steps are necessary to configure the HP Jetdirect
print server for LPD printing:
1
Setting up IP parameters.
2
Setting up print queues.
3
Printing a test file.
The following sections provide detailed descriptions for each
step.
Step 1. Setting Up IP Parameters
To set up IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect print server, refer
to
TCP/IP Configuration
. For more information on TCP/IP
networks, refer to
TCP/IP Overview
.
Step 2. Setting Up Print Queues
You must set up a print queue for each printer or printer
personality (PCL or PostScript) you use on your system. Also,
different queues are required for formatted and unformatted
files. The queue names
text
and
raw
in the following
examples (see
rp
tag) have special meanings.
Table 4.2 Supported Queue Names
raw, raw1, raw2, raw3
no processing
text, text1, text2, text3
carriage return added
auto, auto1, auto2, auto3
automatic
The line printer daemon on the HP Jetdirect print server treats
data in the
text
queue as unformatted text or ASCII, and adds
a carriage return to each line before sending it to the printer.
(Note that the actual observed behavior is that a PCL line
termination command (value of 2) is issued at the beginning of
the job.) The line printer daemon treats data in the
raw
queue
as formatted files in PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2 languages
and sends the data without change to the printer. Data in the
auto
queue will be automatically processed as text or raw, as
appropriate. If the queue name is not one of the above, the HP
Jetdirect print server assumes it to be
raw1
.
