19.6.1. Printer LPR Queue Name

This parameter contains the name of the LPR queue name used on the target printer at destination #. It will be ignored if you choose Raw Socket as “Netw# Print Method.”

Values	Comments
<qname>	Maximum 8 ASCII characters. It is best to observer the
	restrictions described for host names on page 104.

Use a logic for naming queues that fits well into your environ- ment. The configuration page shows a default name LPQ1 in each of the four possible slots, and you need not change these names, given that each network destination has a different host name. The LPR queue name here has nothing whatso- ever to do with the LPR queue name used on the input side.

19.6.2. LPR Count Byte (MB)

LPR is a spooling protocol, which normally requires a count byte to indicate the size of the job to the LPD daemon.

Because the print server does not have the ability to spool the job in order to verify the total length, it is necessary to specify a “Receive Data File” byte count in MBytes for the LPR job. Valid values are in the interval [0..2147], and 2147 is default.

In order to choose the correct value for the network destination in question, you need to investigate how the LPD Daemon is integrated on the printer which will be targeted at that destina- tion.

According to the LPR/LPD RFC1179 a byte count of zero will indicate an infinite size. This is for example accepted for the LPD integration in Windows NT.

LPD Daemons not accepting a count byte of zero may accept a byte count larger than the job (i.e. a client disconnect before the byte count is reached). Defining a byte count value larger than the largest expected LPR print job may therefore have the same effect as a byte count of zero.
