Setting up LPR/LPD on Macintosh systems

for HP Jetdirect 175x external print server/Internet connector for USB and HP Jetdirect 310x external print server/Internet connector for

USB

The setup for LPD (Line Printer Daemon), also known as LPR (Line Printer Request), involves setting up the print queues and creating a port for printing.

Prerequisites:

●Mac OS v.8.6 or higher

●LaserWriter 8, version 8.5.1 or higher

●Desktop Printer Utility 1.0 or higher

●Also verify the general LPD prerequisites.

Reference on queues

In the procedure below you will set up a print queue for each printer or printer personality (PCL or PostScript) used on each system. Also, different queues are required for formatted and unformatted files. You can use the queue names listed in the following table.

raw	no processing
text	carriage return added
auto	automatic
binps	binary Postscript
	defined by user; optionally including

<user-defined>commend strings before and after the print data

Meaning of the queue names:

The line printer daemon treats data in an text queue as unformatted or ASCII text, and adds a carriage return to each line before sending it to the printer. (Note that the actual observed behavior is that a PCL line termination command (value of 2) is issued at the beginning of the job.)
