12.Choose whether to print a test page, and click Next.

13.Click Finish to close the wizard.

Verify the configuration

In Windows, print a file from any application. If the file prints correctly, the configuration was successful.

If the print job is not successful, try printing directly from DOS using the following syntax: lpr -S

<ipaddress> -P<queuename> filename

In the example, <ipaddress> is the IP address of the print server, <queuename> is raw or text and filename is the file to print. If the file prints correctly, the configuration was successful. If the file does not print, or prints incorrectly, see Troubleshoot the HP Jetdirect print server on page 125.

Print from Windows clients

If the LPD printer on the Windows server is shared, Windows clients can connect to the printer on the Windows server using the Windows Add Printer wizard in the Printers folder.
