HP 640n Print Server manual LPD on Microsoft Windows Server 2003/2008 systems, Print a test file

Type the name of a user-defined queue to include predefined strings before and/or after the print data (set up user-defined queues using Telnet or the HP Embedded Web Server).

8.Check for a remote printer on a BSD system. You must type Y.

9.Click OK at the bottom of the menu. If the configuration is successful, the program prints the message:

The printer has been added and is ready to accept print requests.

10.Click OK and select Exit from the List menu.

11.Select Exit Sam.

NOTE: By default, the print scheduler (lpsched) is not running. Turn the scheduler on when you set up your print queues.

Print a test file

To verify that the printer and print server connections are correct, print a test file using the following steps:

1.At the UNIX system prompt type: lpr -Pprintername filename

In the example, printername is the designated printer and filename is the file to print. 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, use lp -dinstead of lpr -P.

2.To display the print status, type the following at the UNIX prompt: lpq -Pprintername

In the example, printername is the designated printer.

Examples (for BSD-based systems): lpq -Ptext1 lpq -Praw1

For HP-UX systems, use lpstat instead of lpq -P.

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