Complete the following steps to print a print-ready file by using the LPR command.

1Take note of the TCP/IP address on the EIO Jetdirect page. The Jetdirect page is the second page of the configuration page printout. To print a configuration page, see Determining the current level of firmware.

2From a command window, type lpr -P IPADDRESS -S IPADDRESS -o l FILENAME

lpr -S <IPADDRESS> -Pbinps <FILENAME>, where IPADDRESS can be either the TCP/IP

address or the host name of the product, and where FILENAME is the file name of the print- ready file.

NOTE The parameter (-o l) consists of a lowercase "O", not a zero, and a lowercase "L", not the numeral 1. This parameter sets the transport protocol to binary mode.

3The file prints, but no further messages appear in the command prompt window.

4Type exit at the command prompt to close the command window.

Driver-feature comparison in various operating systems

The following tables detail the software features that are available for each driver type and for each supported operating system that the HP LaserJet 2410, 2420, and 2430 printer supports. The printing-system drivers for Windows 98, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 are the HP Traditional PCL 5e Driver, HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver, and PS Emulation Driver. The printing-system drivers for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 are the new HP unidrivers, with a user interface look and feel that is consistent across the HP PCL 6 Unidriver, HP PCL 5e Unidriver, and PS Emulation Unidriver.

For more information about the HP traditional PCL 6, PCL 5e, and PS emulation drivers, see HP traditional print drivers for Windows. For more information about the HP PCL 6, PCL 5e, and PS emulation unidrivers, see HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5e, and HP PS 3 emulation unidrivers for Windows.
