Printing from UNIX Workstations
You can print to the KX-P8420 directly from UNIX. Jobs printed to the
KX-P8420 are sent to the Print queue and can be manipulated from
Macintosh and PC computers on the network by using WebSpooler.
The queue name and printer name are established by your system
administrator. In general, the queue name should be appended to the name
of the printer, for example, KX-P8420_print.
For information on setting up the printer for TCP/IP printing, see Chapter 3
of the
Setup Manual or
Operating Instructions.
Printing to the KX-P8420
You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript files and text files. In
general, the basic printing commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) can be used to send
print jobs to the KX-P8420. See your UNIX manual pages or other
documentation for information about UNIX commands.
The KX-P8420 queue name referred to in the following procedures is the
name defined in the
printcap
file by your system administrator.
NOTE:
•
Only PostScript or text files can be printed from UNIX.
To print from UNIX:
On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based
variant, use the lpr command to send a job to the KX-P8420 as
follows:
lpr -P
queuename -# copies filename
For example, if the Print queue of your KX-P8420 is named KXP8420, your
file is named
Sample
, and you want to print two copies, type:
lpr -P KXP8420 -# 2 Sample
