LPR

The example below illustrates how to use the lpr command to send a Þle 
to the printer from the DOS command line.

In this example, the server name is server1, and the printer name is 8650.

lpr -S server1 -P 8650 \fullpath\Þlename

11.4.3 Eliminating ÒCtrlDÓs from Print jobs

11.4.3.1Windows 3.x Systems

To eliminate the CtrlDs from PostScript output Þles on Windows 3.x 
systems, a C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI Þle must be edited.

Within the C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI Þle, search for any occurrences of 
Kodak printers and/or LPT ports that they may be associated with. A 
typical entry might look like:

[Kodak DS 8650 PS, LPT1]

After this line, add the following line:

CTRLD=0

Save the Þle, and try printing it again.

11.4.3.2Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51Systems

To eliminate the CtrlDs from PostScript output Þles on Windows 95 and 
Windows NT systems, use the Printer >Properties setup menus and 
select PostScript >Advanced features.Turn off the CtrlDs before and after 
the job.

11.5 Printing in PostScript Mode from Macintosh Systems

To send PostScript Þles to a printer in PostScript mode, use the File>Print 
function from applications. A pre-existing PostScript Þle can be 
downloaded to the printer using the LaserWriter Font Utility.
