Configuring The Print Queue; Creating A Print Queue Manually - Toshiba E-STUDIO 281C Printing Manual

Configuring the Print Queue

After you copy UNIX Filters, you can configure the print queue.
There are two ways to configure the print queue: one is creating a print queue using estcolo-
radd, and the other is creating a print queue manually without using estcoloradd.

— Creating a Print Queue Using estcoloradd
You can create a print queue using estcoloradd.
Creating a print queue
1
Log on to the root account.
2
Enter the following command:
estcoloradd <queue name> <host name or IP address>
This command creates a print queue using the system's lpadmin command. It also
creates a configuration file that has the destination IP address or host name. Use the
configuration file to change print queue parameters.
The lpadmin command stores the printer interface file in the /etc/lp/interfaces direc-
tory in a file with the same name as the print queue. The configuration file is stored in
the /etc/lp/interfaces directory in a file named <queue name>.conf.
Under Linux, the printtool (or equivalent) utility must be used to add the printer into
the lp printing system after executing the est coloradd command.

— Creating a Print Queue Manually

You can also configure the print queue by adding a remote printer manually.
The procedure varies depending on the operating systems.
