in that file).

TEXT_P1 for text files).

print server can also be configured as a JetDirect card using AIX.

The print server can be used with any computer system that supports the
LPR/LPD protocol or HP JetDirect (port 9100 is the default; however, it can
be reconfigured). Refer to the system’s documentation to configure
LPR/LPD or JetDirect print queues.
