print command
Use the
command to send a document to a specific print
queue and to specify printing options you want to apply to your
document.
NOTE: Users of korn shell on UNIX must alias the Xerox
command, since ksh has a built-in
command.
To submit a print job, enter the
command and its options on
the command line using the following syntax:
Syntax
print -printername <vpname> [<options>] <filenames>
OR
print -p <vpname> [<options>] <filenames>
NOTE: The syntax above only works when printing to the default
NPS/IPS printer controller. Users with more than one NPS/IPS
printer controller must specify the hostname for the controller
using the “-ser” or “-server” option.
When using the “-ser” or “-server” option, the virtual printer must
exist on the alternate server.
Required
arguments
The following arguments are required for the
command:
•
-printername <vpname> OR -p <vpname>
The virtual printer that you want to use. To determine which
virtual printers are available, use the
listq
command. Refer to
“Listq” in this chapter for more information.
•
<filenames>
The name of the file that you want to print, including any
filename extension.
NOTE: In UNIX, when you specify the name of the file, make
sure that it does not include the following characters: & ! ” ‘ ’ $ - ;
? These characters in filenames may conflict with other UNIX
commands and expressions.
If you specify more than one file, the banner page displays the
name of the first file. If you use the
listjob
command, the name
of the first file appears as the job name.
