Printing from AIX

Example:

chmod -R g+rwX,o+rX /usr/spool/lpd/ P5000

chmod -R daemon.daemon /usr/spool/lpd/ P5000

5.Start the printer daemon for this new printer. Example:

lpc start P5000

You now have a new printer which relies on LPR/LPD to print to a PrintNet printer. Use the following command to test printing:

Syntax:

lpr -printername filename

Example:

lpr -P5000 /etc/hosts

Printing from AIX

Version 4.0 and higher of AIX® offers LPR/LPD support for network printing. This means, to set up a new printer under this operating system, you only need to define these two parameters:

1.PrintNet IP address. The IP address or host name of the print server you want to print to.

2.PrintNet destination/queue. A pre-defined name on the print server telling the device which I/O port to send the jobs to. You will most likely use “d1prn” for the PRN.

Printing with FTP

Print jobs can also be sent to the PrintNet using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). To do this:

1.On your network station, change to the directory containing the file you want to print.

2.Open an FTP session with the PrintNet.

Syntax:

ftp PrintNetIPaddress
