4.6.3 LPD printing

LPD protocol is built-in to most of the UNIX system. However, detailed implementation of LPD differs among UNIX systems. Please refer to the UNIX administration guide for reference. The following illustrated printing command is under BSD system or System V version.

For BSD system: lpr -P <printer_name><filename>

For System V version: lp -d <printer_name><filename>

This command is to print selected file to the selected printer.

e.g. lpr -PETPS1 /etc/hosts (BSD version) or lp -dETPS1 /etc/hosts (System V version) This example is to print the /etc/hosts file to the Ethernet Print Terminal printer.

4.6.4 Setup for TFTP

When working on the BSD UNIX system, run the setup procedure under Setup for LPD on page 61. Otherwise run the Setup for LPD omitting step 6.

4.6.5 TFTP Printing

Before using TFTP printing, the Ethernet Print Terminal needs to be installed completely by Setup for TFTP (above). TFTP Printing lets the user send print jobs to the printers directory. There are no spooling mechanisms involved. Consequently, if that printer is not ready, the TFTP process will be terminated immediately without sending print jobs to printers. The user must make sure the printer is ready to print before issuing the TFTP command to have a successful result.

Log into the Ethernet Print Terminal with this command: tftp <PS_NAME>

and then type:

put <file Name> Ln

where Ln is a logic printer for L1 to L8

e.g. tftp ETPS1

tftp > put /etc/hosts L1

This example prints the /etc/hosts file to the logic printer 1 of Ethernet Print Terminal printer ETPS1.
