Lpr Filters - Epson EPL-N7000 Network Manual

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.
The remote printer name options used to invoke the different
filters are as follows:
lpb
lpa
lpbf
lpaf
All other remote printer name options will be treated the same as
lpb.
The following is an example of sending a text file, "txtfile", via lpr
with a form feed appended:
% lpr -plpaf txtfile
Binary files (no filters)
ASCII files (carriage returns at line ends)
Binary file with form feed at file end
ASCII file with form feed at file end
