Introduction to UNIX Settings

This chapter explains how to set up the printer for different UNIX systems using the lpr
command.
Your printer supports many standard UNIX commands and can be configured from a host
computer without using a special setup utility.
Your printer is able to function as a remote printer on systems using TCP/IP Ethernet
transfer with lpr remote printing protocol, or standard ftp (file transfer protocol).
Note:
Because this printer does not convert data into the printer control language, a printer driver and
filter are necessary for each system.

lpr filters

Filters for lpr are controlled by the name given to the remote printer. When setting up an lpr
printer entry, a name is entered for:
❏ the local printer name to be redirected
❏ the host name of the station to which the print is sent
❏ the remote printer name (name of the printer port on the remote station)
Many different remote printer names may be set up, all directed to the same Ethernet
remote host, and each is given a different local printer name to be redirected. Different
types of print jobs may be sent to different printer names, which will then all print out on the
same printer, through the same Ethernet interface, but using different filters.
