Xerox 721P90350 manual Print command Syntax Required arguments

Printing using Xerox utilities and lpr utilities (DOS and UNIX)

print command

Syntax

Required arguments

Use the print command to send a document to a specific print queue and to specify printing options you want to apply to your document.

NOTE: Users of korn shell on UNIX must alias the Xerox print command, since ksh has a built-in print command.

To submit a print job, enter the print command and its options on the command line using the following syntax:

print -printername <vpname> [<options>] <filenames>

OR

print -p <vpname> [<options>] <filenames>

NOTE: The syntax above only works when printing to the default NPS/IPS printer controller. Users with more than one NPS/IPS printer controller must specify the hostname for the controller using the “-ser” or “-server” option.

When using the “-ser” or “-server” option, the virtual printer must exist on the alternate server.

The following arguments are required for the print command:

•-printername <vpname> OR -p <vpname>

The virtual printer that you want to use. To determine which virtual printers are available, use the listq command. Refer to “Listq” in this chapter for more information.

•<filenames>

The name of the file that you want to print, including any filename extension.

NOTE: In UNIX, when you specify the name of the file, make

sure that it does not include the following characters: & ! ” ‘ ’ $ - ;

?These characters in filenames may conflict with other UNIX commands and expressions.

If you specify more than one file, the banner page displays the name of the first file. If you use the listjob command, the name of the first file appears as the job name.
