Printing with CUPS
CUPS supports the use of both the System V (lp) and Berkeley (lpr) printing commands.
• To print to a specific printer in System V, type: lp -dprinter filename, then click Enter.
• To print to a specific printer in Berkeley, type: lpr -Pprinter filename, then click Enter.
AS/400
Xerox provides Workstation Customizing Object (WSCO) files to support AS/400 or Iseries,
V5R2 or later. The WSCO is a file that provides printer-specific PCL codes that the host
print transform uses to select the correct tray, 2-sided (duplex) option, font size and
type, and orientation.
The XTOOLSxxxx library provides a source WSCO for each supported Xerox
®
printer or
device. You only need to download and install the library once.
Note
The host print transform only works on files that are of the type AFPDS and SCS.
PIDS-formatted printer files must be recreated as type AFPDS to use the WSCO for
printing.
