Printing from an Application
This section describes how to print from a UNIX workstation.
y When the User Management Setting is enabled on the equipment, the print jobs that are
sent from UNIX workstations are processed as invalid jobs according to the Department
Code Enforcement setting.
y Before attempting to print from a UNIX workstation, make sure all the UNIX Filters are
installed in your workstation.
P.169 “Installing Client Software for UNIX”
Considerations and Limitations
y This equipment acts only as a filter and not as a complete driver. The size and order of the
printed pages cannot be modified.
y The UNIX filters do not support the following engine-supplied features:
- Enlarge/Reduce printing
- Rotate Sort
- N-up printing
- Watermarks
- Cover Sheets
- Sheet Insertion
- Scheduled Print
- Print to Overlay File
- Store to e-Filing
- Use Overlay Image
y Linux uses the lptap command to send a file to this equipment.
Since lp is not supported in all versions of Linux, the lptap command should be used instead.
y AIX supports printing using the qdaemon. This can be invoked by the user with the com-
mands lp, lpr or qprt. In order to use the filter, either lp or qprt should be used.
Printing Using LP Command
Use the lp command (lptap in Linux) to send a file to this equipment for printing. This command
specifies various printer-specific options using the -o option parameter on the command line.
The lp command also sets other print options using various other parameters. Use the man
estbw.1 command to display the online document that describes the various options and param-
eters that can be set to configure printed output.
All the options are sent to this equipment at the start of a print job so, if the print file contains its
own commands, they may override the lp options.
