Settings for UNIX
Introduction to UNIX Settings
This chapter explains how to set up the printer for different UNIX
systems using the lpr command.
Your printer supports many standard UNIX commands and can
be configured from a host computer without using a special setup
utility.
Your printer is able to function as a remote printer on systems
usingTCP/IP Ethernet transferwithlpr remote printingprotocol,
or standard ftp (file transfer protocol).
Note:
Because this printer does not convert data into the printer control
language, a printer driver and filter are necessary for each system.
lpr filters
Filters for lpr are controlled by the name given to the remote
printer. When setting up an lpr printer entry, a name is entered
for:
❏
the local printer name to be redirected
❏
the host name of the station to which the print is sent
❏
