files or TEXT_P1 for text files).

NOTES:
♦
The configuration for earlier versions of AIX is slightly
different. Refer to the Administrator's Manual on the CD-
ROM for details.
♦
The print server can also be configured as a JetDirect card
using AIX. To do this, refer to your AIX documentation.
C o n f i g u r a t i o n o n O t h e r S y s t e m s
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.
