Printing a test file

To print a test file

To verify that the all-in-one and print server connections are correct, print a test file.

1.

At the UNIX system prompt type:

lpr -Pprinter_name file_name

where

printer_name

is the designated all-in-one and

file_name

refers to the file to be printed.

Examples (for BSD-based systems):

PostScript File:

lpr -Praw1 psfile.ps

For HP-UX systems, substitute

lp -d

for

lpr -P

.

2.

To get print status, type the following at the UNIX prompt:

lpq -Pprinter_name

where

printer_name

is the designated all-in-one.

Examples (for BSD-based systems):

lpq -Praw1

For HP-UX systems, substitute

lpstat

for

lpq -P

to get print status.

This completes the process for configuring the all-in-one to use LPD.
