Printing with FTP
Print jobs can also be sent to the PrintNet 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 PrintNet.
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.
