●IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server.

LPD setup overview

To configure the HP Jetdirect print server for LPD printing, complete the following:

1.Set up IP parameters.

2.Set up print queues.

3.Print a test file.

The following sections provide detailed descriptions for each step.

Step 1. Set up IP parameters

To set up IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect print server, see TCP/IP configuration on page 15.

Step 2. Set up print queues

Set up a print queue for each printer or printer personality (PCL or PostScript) you use on your system. Different queues are required for formatted and unformatted files. The following table lists the supported queue types and how the line HP Jetdirect printer daemon server processes each.

Table A-2Supported queue types

raw, raw1, raw2, raw3

No processing. Treats the data in the queue as a print job already formatted in

 

the PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2 and sends it to the printer without

 

modification.

 

 

text, text1, text2, text3

Carriage return added. Treats data in the queue as unformatted or ASCII text,

 

and adds a carriage return to each line before sending to the printer.

 

 

auto, auto1, auto2, auto3

Automatic. Uses auto-sensing to determine whether the print data is sent as

 

raw or text.

 

 

binps, binps1, binps2, binps3

Binary PostScript. Instructs the PostScript interpreter that the print job is

 

binary PostScript data.

 

 

<user-defined>

(Full-featured print servers only) Define pre and post-print data strings, which

 

can include job control commands that are automatically added before or after

 

the print job. You can set up print queues using Telnet or the HP Embedded

 

Web Server.

 

 

Step 3. Print a test file

Print a test file using the LPD commands. For instructions, see the information provided for your system.
