You can print to the ColorPASS directly from UNIX workstations. Jobs printed to the
ColorPASS are sent to the Print or Hold queue and can be manipulated from the
Command WorkStation or from Windows and Mac OS computers on the network
using Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler.
If you print to the Hold queue, an operator must intervene from the Command

WorkStation, Fiery Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler for the job to print; jobs sent to the
Hold queue are spooled to disk and held.
The queue name and ColorPASS printer name are determined by your system
administrator. Contact your system administrator for the names of your queues.
For information about setting up printing from TCP/IP, see your UNIX system
documentation.
Printing to the ColorPASS
You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript and text files to the ColorPASS. In
general, use basic print commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) to send print jobs to a ColorPASS.
See UNIX manual pages or other documentation for information about UNIX
commands.
Only PostScript or text files can be printed from UNIX.

UNIX:
On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lpr command
to send a job to the ColorPASS as follows:
lpr <-Pprinter> <-#copies> <filename>
For example, if the Print queue of your ColorPASS is named
named , and you want to print two copies, type:
Sample
lpr -Pprint_Server -#2 Sample
, your file is
print_Server
