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

lpc command (UNIX only)

Use the lpc command to control the flow of jobs from your workstation to the virtual printers at the printer controller. Refer to the lpc command man page for more information.

To control printer operation, enter the lpc command and its options on the command line using the following syntax:

Syntax lpc <options>

Options The options are case sensitive. You may enter more than one option at a time. All the lpc options except help, status, and exit quit require root privileges.

Enter the option, then specify whether the option applies to all printers, or just to the printer you name (the machine that executes the lpc command, not the printer controller).

enable <all printername>

Enables spooling on the local queue for the printers listed.

exit quit
