Oki 6120E manual Remote LPD Printing

Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing

log_file_name

This is the path to a file where error information from the lpd will be logged.

Example: If you are printing to an ASCII printer that requires a carriage return/line feed, you may need two separate printcap entries: one entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a carriage return/line feed, and another entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a line feed only. Your printcap entries might look like the following:

ascii_filesform.feed.Queue_on_Port_2:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUEFF2:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueueff2:\ :lf=/usr/spool/myqueueff2/queue.log

asciilf_filesline.feed.Queue_on_Port_2:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF2:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2:\ :lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2/queue.log

Note: Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work properly.

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 program 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.
