Printing via LPD
The following describes how to print using TCP/IP’s LPD
protocol (lpr, lp commands). Please refer to your workstation’s
manual for the details of the lpr and lp commands. In the
following explanation, printing of a print file “test.prn” using
the printer name “OP8c_lp” is used as an example.

About LPD

LPD (Line Printer Daemon) is the protocol most commonly used
for printing over TCP/IP to a network printer.

About logical printers

The Fast EtherNet includes three logical printers.
In order to print a file created using the printer driver, an “lp”
logical printer must be used for printing.
In order to print a text file of the Shift JIS Kanji code, an “sjis”
logical printer must be used for printing.
In order to print a text file of the EUC Kanji code, an “euc”
logical printer must be used for the printing.
Logic Printer function
lp For direct output
sjis For Shift JIS Kanji converted output
euc For EUC Kanji converted output
“sjis” and “euc” function only as postscript printers.
They cannot be used with other printers.
