Printing From AIX

Printing From AIX
Version 4.0 and higher of AIX

offers LPR/LPD support for network
printing. This means, to set up a new printer under this operating
system, you only need to define these two parameters:
1. Ethernet Interface IP address. The IP address or host name
of the print server to which you want to print.
2. Ethernet Interface destination/queue. A pre-defined name
on the print server telling the device to which I/O port to send
the jobs. Most likely, you will use
d1prn
for the PRN.
Printing With FTP
Print jobs can also be sent to the Ethernet Interface using the File
Transfer Protocol (FTP). To do this:
1. On your network station, change to the directory containing the
file you want to print.
2. Open an FTP session with the Ethernet Interface.
Syntax:
ftp EthernetInterfaceIPaddress
3. Log in as
root
.
4. At the password prompt, press ENTER (since there is no
default password).
5. Change to the
dest
directory.
Syntax:
cd dest
6. List the contents of this directory using the
dir
command and
determine which destination/queue you would like to send the
print job through. Most likely, you will select
d1prn
for the PRN
port.
7. Change to this destination directory.
Example:
cd d1prn
