Printing from DOS

NPrint

Print to the printer as if it were any other Novell print server. For example, use the Novell CAPTURE command to redirect one of the LPT ports to a queue serviced by the Network Interface Card. If the file server is named raisa and the queue is named lp1, the command to redirect to LPT1 would be:

CAPTURE /S=raisa /Q=lp1

Use NPRINT to print as shown in the following example:

NPRINT myfile S=raisa Q=lp1

You can include the /notify option to send a message to users who send jobs once the jobs successfully print. For example:

NPRINT myfile S=raisa Q=lp1 /notify

Copy

Use COPY to print to an LPT port redirected to a network port.

COPY myfile LPT1

LPR

The example below illustrates how to use the lpr command to send a file to the printer from the DOS command line.

In this example, the server name is server1, and the printer name is 8650.

lpr -S server1 -P 8650 \fullpath\filename

Printing form Macintosh Systems

To send PostScript files to a printer in PostScript mode, use the File>Print function from a PostScript application. A pre-existing PostScript file can be downloaded to the printer using the LaserWriter Font Utility.
