Printing Files Directly from Windows

❒If the message "print requests full" appears, no print jobs can be ac- cepted. Try again when sessions end. For each command, the amount of possible sessions is indi- cated as follows:

•lpr: 5(When the spool printingfunction is available: 10)•rcp, rsh: 5•ftp: 3

❒Enter the file name in a format in- cluding the path from the directo- ry executing commands.

Reference

The “option” specified in a command is an intrinsic printer option and its syntax is similar to printing from UNIX. For details, see UNIX Supplement.

lpr❖When specifying a printer by IP ad- dressc:> lpr -Sprinter's IP ad- dress [-Poption] [-ol] \pass name\file name❖When using a host name instead of an IP addressc:> lpr -Sprinter's host name [-Poption] [-ol] \pass name\file name

When printing a binary file, add the "-ol" option (lowercase O, and lowercase L).

When using a printer with the host name "host" to print a PostScript file named "file 1" located in the "C:\PRINT" directory, the command line is as follows:

c:> lpr -Shost -Pfiletype=RPS -ol C:\PRINT\file1

rcpFirst, register the printer's host name in the hosts file.

c:> rcp [-b] \pass name\file name [pass name\file name...] printer's host name:[option]

Note

❒In file names, "*" and "?" can be used as wild cards.❒When printing a binary file, add the “-b” option.

When using a printer with the host name "host" to print a PostScript file named "file 1" or "file 2" located in the "C:\PRINT" directory, the command 5 line is as follows:

c:> rcp -b C:\PRINT\file1 C:\PRINT\file2 host:file- type=RPS
