LPD setup overview

To configure the HP Jetdirect print server for LPD printing, complete the following:
1. Set up IP parameters.
2. Set up print queues.
3. Print a test file.
The following sections provide detailed descriptions for each step.

Step 1. Set up IP parameters

To set up IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect print server, see

Step 2. Set up print queues

Set up a print queue for each printer or printer personality (PCL or PostScript) you use on your system.
Different queues are required for formatted and unformatted files. The following table lists the supported
queue types and how the line HP Jetdirect printer daemon server processes each.
Table A-2 Supported queue types
raw, raw1, raw2, raw3
text, text1, text2, text3
auto, auto1, auto2, auto3
binps, binps1, binps2, binps3
<user-defined>

Step 3. Print a test file

Print a test file using the LPD commands. For instructions, see the information provided for your system.

LPD on UNIX systems

Configure print queues for BSD-based systems

Edit the /etc/printcap file to include the following entries:
ENWW
ADDRESS: xxxxxxxxxxxx
No processing. Treats the data in the queue as a print job already formatted in
the PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2 and sends it to the printer without modification.
Carriage return added. Treats data in the queue as unformatted or ASCII text,
and adds a carriage return to each line before sending to the printer.
Automatic. Uses auto-sensing to determine whether the print data is sent as raw
or text.
Binary PostScript. Instructs the PostScript interpreter that the print job is binary
PostScript data.
(Full-featured print servers only) Define pre and post-print data strings, which
can include job control commands that are automatically added before or after
the print job. You can set up print queues using Telnet or the embedded Web
server.
