Use an LPD protocol
„
This explains how to print using a TCP/IP LPD protocol (lpr or lp
command). For details of the lpr and lp command, please refer to
the UNIX manual.
About LPD
•
LPD (Line Printer Daemon) is a protocol to print with a printer on
the network.
• About logical printers
This printer has three logical printers.
Logical printers
lp
If printing a PostScript or PCL format file
sjis
If printing a shift JIS Japanese character code text file
euc
If printing a euc Japanese character code text file
• sjis and euc are PostScript printer functions only.
Note!
The following explanation uses the environment shown below as an example.
Printer
: B840dn
IP Address
: 192.168.0.2
MAC address
: 00:80:87:84:9C:9B
220
(B840dn)
Function
• Configure UNIX settings and print
For Sun Solaris2.6 and 8
• You must have super - user rights.
Note!
•
The remote printer registration method using Admintool on
OpenWindows cannot be used on this printer, as the output
destination and queue name would be the same. Remote print-
ers can be registered with the following method.
•
If Solaris 2.x's connection with the remote printer is stuck for
a long time, based on its system specifications it will consider
this to be an error, and will force disconnect. Therefore, if there
is a waiting time due to running out of paper while printing or
an online error, the printer will cut the connection.
Log in as the UNIX administrator (root).
①
Register the printer's IP address and host name in the /etc/
②
hosts file.
192.168.0.2 ML
Check the connection using a ping command.
③
# ping ML
Register the print server.
④
# lpadmin -p ML_lp -m netstandard -o protocol=bsd -o
dest=ML:lp -v /dev/null
• The "lp" following ":" is a logical printer.
Note!
•
You may need to set the printer type or file content type de-
pending on the file format you are printing. For details, please
refer to the manual that came with your OS.
Enable the print queue.
⑤
#/usr/sbin/accept ML_lp
#/usr/bin/enable ML_lp
