Printing With FTP
Print jobs can also be sent to the NIC 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 NIC.
Syntax:
ftp NICIPaddress
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
8. Change the mode to correspond with the type of file you are
going to print. By default, ASCII is set for text-only files, but if
you need to print both text and graphics, select binary using the
bin
command.
9. Place the file to be printed within this directory on the NIC, so it
can be spooled and printed.
Syntax:
put filename
