77-2 Printing with UNIX Workstations
TO PRINT FROM UNIX:
•On a system running SunOS4 or another BSD-based variant, use the lpr command to
send a job to the Fiery SI as follows:
lpr <-Pprinter> <-#copies> <filename>
For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery SI is named print_Server, your file is
named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:
lpr -Pprint_Server -#2 Sample
• On a system running Solaris 2 or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the lpr
command to send a job to the Fiery SI as follows:
lp -d <printername> {-n <-#copies>} <filename>
For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery SI is named print_Server, your file is
named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:
lp -d print_Server -n 2 Sample
TO DISPLAY A LIST OF JOBS IN THE QUEUE:
•On a system running SunOS 4 or another BSD-based variant, use the lpq command to
see printer jobs in the queue as follows:
lpq <-Pprinter>
For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery SI is named print_Server, type:
lpq -Pprint_Server
Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.
•On a system running Solaris 2 or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the lpstat
command to see printer jobs in the queue as follows:
lpstat -o <printername>
For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery SI is named print_Server, type:
lpstat -o print_Server
Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.
