Configuring Printing for UNIX Clients
The following topics are discussed in the section:
configuring print queues for BSD-like systems
●
configuring print queues using SAM (HP-UX systems)
●
printing a test file
●
A print queue must be set up for each printer or printer personality (text, PCL, or PostScript) used.
If printing text documents from UNIX clients to an HP JetDirect print server, a special queue must be
configured on the appliance. First add the printer through the
Printers page
in the web interface. On the
Identify Printer page, for connectivity select Other and then specify the remote queue name.For the
remote queue name on the target printer, TEXT must be specified (or TEXT2, TEXT3 for multi-port
JetDirect print servers). This must be done even though the target printer is an HP JetDirect device. Use
the normal print queue when printing jobs that have been formatted with a printer-specific page
descritpion language such as PDL (like PostScript) or PCL.
Configuring Print Queues for BSD-like Systems
If the printer supports automatic language switching, the application may select the printer language via
commands embedded in the print data.
Make sure users know the printer names for the printers, since they will have to enter those names on the
command line for printing.
Following is an example of configuring print queues for BSD-like systems (for example, Linux):
Edit the /etc/printcap file to include the following entries:
printer_name:\
:lp=:\
:rm=print_appliance_name:\
:rp=remote_printername_argument:\ (this should be the same as the
printer name on the appliance)
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/error_log_filename:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/printername:\
:sh:
