Printing from a UNIX Client Workstation
To print from a UNIX client through LPR:
1.
Type the following:
<lpr><space><-P><space><local UNIX printer
name><space><PS file name>
For example, to print
frog
.ps on a printer named ProcessPrint, type:
lpr -P ProcessPrint frog.ps.
2.
Press
ENTER
.
The PostScript file is downloaded to the printer. All settings are taken
from the remote printer on the Spire CXP6000 color server.
Note: Use a logical name to recognize the remote printer.
Note: Verify that the printer name defined on the remote server contains no
more than 20 characters. Unix is case sensitive.
Note: Use alphanumeric and underscores for names. Names are case
sensitive—for example, ProcessPrint not processprint. UNIX does not require
PPD files to print jobs.
