Supported language notes
• All printer types support “raw” as the language type. This makes the print queue a pass-through queue.
This means the print job is sent to the printer without any queue modification.
• The Automatic language type lets you set the language type to be automatic, pcl, or ps. If you select
automatic, you can send both PCL emulation/ASCII and PostScript emulation print jobs to the print queue.
• The Automatic Plus language type lets you set the language type to be automatic_plus, pcl, ps, or
iq. If you select automatic_plus, you can send PCL emulation/ASCII, PostScript emulation, and
ImageQuick
TM
(HTML, PDF, TIFF) print jobs to the print queue.
• The Automatic PDF language type lets you set the language type to be automatic_pdf, pcl, ps, or
pdf. If you select automatic_pdf, you can send PCL emulation/ASCII, PostScript emulation, and PDF print
jobs to the print queue.
• If the language type is pcl, you can send only ASCII text or PCL emulation jobs through the print queue.
• If the language type is ps, you can send only PostScript emulation jobs through the print queue.
• If the language type is ppds, you can only send ASCII text or PPDS emulation jobs through the print queue.
• You should normally choose automatic, if it is available.
c Available printer settings options can be found by running the lsqueue_opts command. Using the Printer
Type as determined in step b on page 19, run the following command:
# /usr/lexprint/bin/lsqueue_opts -f printer_type
Example: # /usr/lexprint/bin/lsqueue_opts -f 10LT63x
Locate the options and values you want to change and pass them the mkqueue command with the -o
argument.
2 Type the following command:
# /usr/lexprint/bin/mkqueue -d device_name -q queue_name
-p printer_type -l printer_language -o printer_options
Note: Type mkqueue -h from the command line for more details regarding this command.
Example: Using information gathered in step 1 on page 19, create a new print queue (“myqueue”), for a virtual
device (“mydevice”). The printer type is 10LT63x and the language selection is specified as “automatic” for this
queue. Specify additional printer options so that paper from the second tray is used and jobs are duplexed against
the long edge of the paper.
# /usr/lexprint/bin/mkqueue -d mydevice -q myqueue -p 10LT63x
-l automatic -o "paper_tray=tray2 duplex=long_edge"
Changing the print queue status
There are four print queue states:
• Enabled—The normal state of the operation. Jobs in the queue are actively processed.
• Disabled—Print job processing stops. New jobs can be submitted, but they are not processed.
• Accepting—Print jobs can be submitted to the queue.
• Rejecting—No print jobs can be submitted to the queue.
These states are not all mutually exclusive. For example, an enabled queue may reject jobs.
