HP J7949E LPD on Windows XP Systems, Verifying the Configuration, Printing from Windows Clients

Verifying the Configuration

From within Windows NT, 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

where ipaddress is the IP address of the print server, queuename is the name “raw” or “text” and filename is the file you wish to print. If the file prints correctly, the configuration was successful. If the file does not print, or prints incorrectly, see Chapter 8.

Printing 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 utility in the Printers folder.
