on the HP Jetdirect printer configuration page. If you have not printed a configuration page from your
printer, see your printer documentation for instructions. You must also have the following:
■ An operating system that supports LPD printing.
■ Superuser (root) or Administrator access to your system.
■ The LAN hardware address (or station address) of the print server. This address is printed with
print server status information on the HP Jetdirect configuration page and is of the form:
HARDWARE ADDRESS: xxxxxxxxxxxx
where x is a hexadecimal digit (for example, 0001E6123ABC).
■ An IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server.

LPD Setup Overview

The following steps are necessary to configure the HP Jetdirect print server for LPD printing:
1 Setting up IP parameters.
2 Setting up print queues.
3 Printing a test file.
The following sections provide detailed descriptions for each step.

Step 1. Setting Up IP Parameters

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

Step 2. Setting Up Print Queues

You must set up a print queue for each printer or printer personality (PCL or PostScript) you use on
your system. Also, different queues are required for formatted and unformatted files. The queue
names text and raw in the following examples (see rp tag) have special meanings.
Table A-2 Supported Queue Names
raw, raw1, raw2, raw3
text, text1, text2, text3
auto, auto1, auto2, auto3
binps, binps1, binps2, binps3
<user-defined>
The line printer daemon on the HP Jetdirect print server treats data in the text queue as
unformatted text or ASCII, and adds a carriage return to each line before sending it to the printer.
(Note that the actual observed behavior is that a PCL line termination command (value of 2) is issued
at the beginning of the job.)
