Section IV - TCP/IP

Remote LPD Printing

The way print jobs are queued to a Remote LPD system varies among the vendors that support TCP/IP. UNIX systems that are BSD-based typically use the lpr pro- gram to submit print jobs. Other UNIX systems may use the lp program to submit print jobs. PC-based TCP/ IP packages often provide a command line lpr program and a utility to redirect the output of an LPT port to a Remote LPD system.

Consult your system administrator or software vendor for assistance troubleshooting LPD.

Note: The Remote LPD implementation of the OkiLAN 6010e does not support any UNIX LPD input or output filters or the direct printing of banner pages. It is pos- sible to configure some UNIX systems so that banner pages and input and output filters will be generated at the UNIX host and then sent to the OkiLAN 6010e. (Refer to Appendix B, Application Considerations.)

FTP Printing

FTP is a command line program used to transfer files between computers. FTP provides commands for opening a connection to another computer, specifying the data type of any transfers, and sending and receiving files. The OkiLAN 6010e supports a subset of the FTP command set. This subset allows the FTP user to open a connection to the OkiLAN 6010e, specify a file transfer data type and send print files to a Remote Print Queue Name on the OkiLAN 6010e.
