Verifying the Configuration
In Windows, print a file from any application. If the file prints correctly, the configuration was successful.
If the print job is not successful, try printing directly from DOS using the following syntax:
lpr -S <ipaddress> -P<queuename> filename
where <ipaddress> is the IP address of the print server, <queuename> is the name “raw” or
“text” and filename is the file you wish to print. If the file prints correctly, the configuration was
successful. If the file does not print, or prints incorrectly, see
Troubleshooting the HP Jetdirect Print
Server on page 117.
Printing from Windows Clients
If the LPD printer on the Windows server is shared, Windows clients can connect to the printer on the
Windows server using the Windows Add Printer wizard in the Printers folder.
