Printing Method
This section explains how to print documents using commands.
Printing with lpr, lp
Execute one of the following commands according to type of workstation used:
BSD UNIX workstation, Linux
% lpr -Pprinter_name file_name [file_name...]
For example:
The printer name is np, file names are file1 and file2
% lpr -Pnp file1 file2
Solaris, HP-UX
% lp -d printer_name file_name [file_name...]
For example:
The printer name is np, file names are file1 and file2
% lp -d np file1 file2
Windows
% lpr -S printer's IP address (printer's host_name) -P printer_name [-o l] \path
\file_name
To print a binary file, include the "-o l" switch (a dash followed by a lowercase O and L) after the
printer name.
For example:
If the printer's IP address is 192.168.0.123, the printer name is np, and the file name is file1 (c:\print
\file1.txt):
% lpr -S 192.168.0.123 -P np c:\print\file1.txt
• "printer_name" is the printer name entered when executing the installation shell script with UNIX.
•
You can use wild cards ( * or ? ) for the file name.
• The message "print session full" appears when the maximum number of print requests has been
reached (max. 5 sessions - Job Spool setting available).
• You should try to print again when the number of requests is less than five. You can check the number
of print requests using telnet. For details about using telnet, see the manual that comes with this printer.
• The number of print sessions does not change, whether you increase or reduce the printer's total
memory size.
