Printing Method

This section explains how to print documents using commands.

Printing with lpr, lp

Execute one of the following commands according to the type of workstation used:
BSD UNIX workstation, Linux
% lpr -Pprinter_name file_name [file_name...]
For example:
The printer name is np, file names are file1 and file2
% lpr -Pnp file1 file2
Solaris, HP-UX
% lp -d printer_name file_name [file_name...]
For example:
The printer name is np, file names are file1 and file2
% lp -d np file1 file2
• "printer_name" is the printer name entered when executing the installation shell script.
• You can use wild cards ( * or ? ) for the file name.
• The message "print session full" appears when the maximum number of print requests has been
reached (max. 5 sessions - Job Spool setting available).
• You should try to print again when the number of requests is less than five. You can check the
number of print requests using telnet. For details about using telnet, see the manual that comes with
this machine.
• The number of print sessions does not change, whether you increase or reduce the machine's total
memory size.

Printing with rsh, rcp, ftp

You can also print using the rsh, rcp, and ftp commands.
• Print using a format the printer supports.
• You should try to print again when the number of requests is zero.
