5: Printing on the ETS

The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest method for ETS configuration. The following sections cover print configuration methods for TCP/IP hosts.

Note: Printing directly to a port is the easiest method for printing to the ETS.

If you would like instructions for printing to a service, see the Device Server

Reference Manual located on the CD-ROM.

LPR Printing

The ETS provides several major methods of printing via TCP/IP such as TCP/IP socket printing and Berkeley remote LPR and RTEL host software.

Two parameters must be configured for LPR printing:

1.The IP address or host name of the ETS.

2.The remote output queue (the name of the service on the ETS).

In addition, there are a few important things to note about LPR printing:

‹Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows 98 do not support LPR directly; however, Lantronix has provided a peer-to-peer printing solution on the distribution CD-ROM.

‹Because of the way the LPR protocol is typically implemented on the host, the processing options and banner page are sent after the job data itself. The ETS will print a banner page at the end of a job, and cannot support most of the LPR options. If it is necessary to have the banner page at the beginning of the printout, install and use the RTEL software. If banners are not needed, they can be disabled.

‹The ETS cannot print multiple copies of the print job when using the “-#n” lpr option.

‹If two print queues on the host refer to two services on the same ETS, they must use separate spooling directories.

‹No special purpose input or output filters can be used when printing via LPR. If this functionality is necessary, use the named pipe interface program in the RTEL print queue configuration software.

Services

With few exceptions, you must create a service before you can configure print queues on the ETS. A service is a resource accessible to network hosts. A Lantronix service is also known as a remote printer name or remote queue name on many operating systems.

LPR on Windows 2000, XP, and 2003

Two methods of printing to the Lantronix ETS devices are supported by Windows 2000, XP and 2003.
