TROY Group MAN-EXT2000 manual TCP/IP Network Configuration

lpd/laser1.

This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer that communicates to a TROY XCD print server with a node name (rm) of XCD_003C51 and a service name (rp) of TEXT_P1 for printing text files to the printer through the spool directory /usr/spool/

If you are printing binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1 instead of TEXT_P1.

Note: The rm and rp options are not available on all UNIX systems, so if necessary check your documentation (or man pages) to determine the equivalent options.

Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems can use the lpc command to obtain the printer status:

%lpc status

laser1:

queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries

no daemon present

Users of AT&T-compatible UNIX systems can generally use the lpstat or rlpstat commands to obtain similar status information. Because this procedure varies from system to system, refer to your system documentation for the exact usage.

3-aNote: Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have an SCO UNIX system.

If you have an HP/UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun Solaris 2.xx, there is no printcap file. This is also true for some other AT&T-based UNIX
