PROCEDURE B
LPR UPGRADE PROCEDURE
Warning: Once the upgrade process has begun DO NOT Power off your
Printer!
1. Print a Configuration sheet. Keep this page for future reference. For
directions on doing this, reference the section labeled Before you
Upgrade.
2. Send the upgrade file to the printer. Use the format based on your
client operating system:
WINDOWS NT (3.51 & 4.)
lpr -S <ipaddress> -PRAW <filename> [RETURN]
OS/2
lpr -p ps -s <ipaddress> <filename>[RETURN]
UNIX (use lp or lpr as appropriate)
lpr <switches><queue><filename> [RETURN]
lp <switches><queue><filename> [RETURN]
Where:
<ipaddress> = the TCP/IP address the printer has been
assigned
<filename> = the path and name of the upgrade file
<queue> = the native queue to which the printer is assigned
<switches> = use switches as appropriate to your UNIX
environment. Remember switches are case sensitive.
3. To confirm upgrade is successful, refer to the section labeled
Determining a Successful Upgrade.
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS:
•
Try to ping the printer to make sure it has a valid ip address
•
In addition, consult the section labeled General Troubleshooting
Warning: If the download was not successful, upgrade via the parallel port!
