Printing Using LP Command

Use the lp command (lptap in Linux) to send a file to this equipment for printing. This
command specifies various printer-specific options using the -o option parameter on the
command line. The lp command also sets other print options using various other
parameters. Use the man est451c.1 command to display the online document that
describes the various options and parameters that can be set to configure printed out-
put.
All the options are sent to this equipment at the start of a print job so, if the print file con-
tains its own commands, they may override the lp options.

Generic "lp" and "lptap" Options

— Copies

The number of copies of a print job is specified using the "-n value" parameter with the
"lp" command. The copy count is displayed on the banner page. The default value is
determined by the "lp" command and it is always 1. The copies are always collated.

When the User Authentication is enabled on the equipment, the print jobs that are
sent from UNIX workstations are proceed as invalid jobs according to the Depart-
ment Code Enforcement setting.
Before attempting to print from a UNIX workstation, make sure all the UNIX Filters
are installed in your workstation.
P.167 "Installing Client Software for UNIX"
This equipment acts only as a filter and not as a complete driver. The size and
order of the printed pages cannot be modified.
The UNIX filters do not support the following engine-supplied features:
- Enlarge/Reduce printing
- Rotate Sort
- N-up printing
- Watermarks
- Cover Sheets
- Sheet Insertion
- Scheduled Print
- Print to Overlay File
- Store to e-Filing
- Use Overlay Image
Linux uses the lptap command to send a file to this equipment.
Since lp is not supported in all versions of Linux, the lptap command should be used
instead.
AIX supports printing using the qdaemon. This can be invoked by the user with the
commands lp, lpr or qprt. In order to use the filter, either lp or qprt should be used.
