Printing Using LPD

For LPD printing instructions, refer to your UNIX manual. An example command that is used for
a BSD UNIX system is:
lpr -P printer_name filename
The definitions used are:
• printer_name is the name of the print queue defined on the UNIX host.
• filename is the name of the file you want to print.
An example command with parameters is:
lpr -P Marketing
In the above example, the /etc/hosts file is sent to the Marketing printer queue. It is then sent to the
logical printer associated with this queue.
