LPR Printing with the CXP6000 Color Server 89
Defining a Printer on Unix Client WorkstationsAIX and UNIX Command Line
To define an AIX 4.2.1 printer for printing through LPR:
1. On your UNIX workstation (for example, AIX 4.2.1), type SMIT and
follow the sequence: Print Spooling>Add a Print Queue>
remote>Standard processing.
2. In Name of QUEUE to add, type the name of the print queue to be
used on your UNIX cl ient (use a log ical name to recog nize the remote
printer).
3. In HOSTNAME of remote server, type the hostname of the remote
server where the printer is defined (for example CXP6000).
4. In Name of QUEUE on remote server, type the exact name of the print
queue defined on the remote server (for example ProcessPrint).
5. Click OK.
Printing from a UNIX Client Workstation
To print from a UNIX client through LPR:
1. Type the fo llo win g:
<lpr><space><-P><space><local UNIX printer
name><space><PS file name>
For example, to print frog.ps on a printer named ProcessPrint, type:
lpr -P ProcessPrint frog.ps.
2. Press ENTER.
The PostScript file is downloaded to the printer. All settings are taken
from the remote printer on the CXP6000 Color Server.
Note: Verify that the printer name defined on the remote server contains no
more than 20 characters. Unix is case sensitive.
Note: Use alphanumeric and underscores for names. Names
are case sensitive, for example, ProcessPrint not processprint.
UNIX does not require PPDs to print jobs.
