Print A Test File; Lpd On Microsoft Windows Server 2003/2008 Systems - HP Jetdirect 640n Administrator's Manual

Type the name of a user-defined queue to include predefined strings before and/or after the print
data (set up user-defined queues using Telnet or the HP Embedded Web Server).
8. Check for a remote printer on a BSD system. You must type Y.
9. Click OK at the bottom of the menu. If the configuration is successful, the program prints the
message:
The printer has been added and is ready to accept print requests.
10. Click OK and select Exit from the List menu.
11. Select Exit Sam.
NOTE: By default, the print scheduler (lpsched) is not running. Turn the scheduler on when you set
up your print queues.

Print a test file

To verify that the printer and print server connections are correct, print a test file using the following
steps:
1. At the UNIX system prompt type: lpr -Pprintername filename
In the example, printername is the designated printer and filename is the file to print.
Examples (for BSD-based systems):
Text File: lpr -Ptext1 textfile
PCL File: lpr -Praw1 pclfile.pcl
PostScript File: lpr -Praw1 psfile.ps
HP-GL/2 File: lpr -Praw1 hpglfile.hpg
For HP-UX systems, use lp -d instead of lpr -P.
2. To display the print status, type the following at the UNIX prompt: lpq -Pprintername
In the example, printername is the designated printer.
Examples (for BSD-based systems): lpq -Ptext1
lpq -Praw1
For HP-UX systems, use lpstat instead of lpq -P.
This completes the process for configuring the HP Jetdirect print server to use LPD.
