HP 510x Print Server manual For HP-UX systems, substitute lp -dfor lpr -P

Printing a Test File

To verify that the printer and print server connections are correct, print a test file.

1.At the UNIX system prompt type: lpr -Pprinter_name file_name

where printer_name is the designated printer and file_name refers to the file to be printed.

Examples (for BSD-based systems):

Text File: lpr -Ptext1 textfile

PCL File: lpr -Praw1 pclfile.pcl

PostScript File: lpr -Praw1 psfile.ps

HP-GL/2 File: lpr -Praw1 hpglfile.hpg

For HP-UX systems, substitute lp -dfor lpr -P.

2.To get print status, type the following at the UNIX prompt: lpq -Pprinter_name

where printer_name is the designated printer. Examples (for BSD-based systems):

lpq -Ptext1 lpq -Praw1

For HP-UX systems, substitute lpstat for lpq -Pto get print status.

This completes the process for configuring the HP Jetdirect print server to use LPD.
