LPD Printing
Line Printer Daemon (LPD) is the most common protocol
for printing with TCP/IP to a network printer. Refer to the
workstation’s manual for details of lpr and lp commands.
The following explanation in this section uses the printing
of print file test.prn with printer name Myprinter_lp as an
example.
Logical printers
The printer’s network interface includes three logical
printers.
> lp must be used for printing a file created using the printer
driver.
> sjis must be used for printing a text file of Shift JIS Kanji
code.
> euc must be used for the printing a text file of the EUC
Kanji code.
> sjis and euc function only as PostScript printers.
BSD-based UNIX
Print using the lpr command.
# lpr Pmyprn_lp test.prn
If the lprm command is used, the print job is cancelled.
Example: To delete a print job (Job ID 123) on the
myprn_lp
# lprm Pmyprn_lp 123
Verify the printer status using the lpq command.
> The result of lpq may not be displayed correctly
depending on UNIX operating system specification.
LOGICAL PRINTER PRINTER FUNCTION
lp For direct output
sjis For Shift JIS Kanji converted output
euc For EUC Kanji converted output
