Verifying the Configuration
Print a file from any application. If the file prints correctly, the

where
ipaddress
is the IP address of the print server,
queuename
is the name “raw” or “text” and
filename
is the file you wish to

the file does not print, or prints incorrectly, see the chapter
“Troubleshooting the HP Jetdirect Print Server.”

If the LPD printer on the Windows server is shared, Windows
clients can connect to the printer on the server using the Windows
Add Printer utility in the Printers folder.
