HP ew2500 802.11b/g Print Server manual Print a test file, LPD on Unix systems

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.

LPD on UNIX systems

Configure print queues for BSD-based systems

Edit the /etc/printcap file to include the following entries:

printer_nameshort_printer_name:\ :lp=:\

:rm=node_name:\

:rp=remote_printer_name_argument:\ :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/error_log_filename:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/printer_name:

In the example, short_printer_name identifies the printer to the user, node_name identifies the printer on the network, and remote_printer_name_argument is the print queue designation (such as text, raw, binps, auto, or user-defined).

For more information on printcap, see the printcap man page.

Example: Printcap entries for ASCII or text printers

lj1_texttext1:\ :lp=:\ :rm=laserjet1:\ :rp=text:\ :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/lj1_text.log:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lj1_text:

Example: Printcap entries for postScript, PCL, or HP-GL/2 printers
