Other Printing Methods
Your LevelOne Printer Server supports 2 other printing methods:
•
DSI (Direct Socket Interface)
•
PSfilter (Proprietary print method)
Printing Using DSI
Logical printers must be configured on the LevelOne Printer Server as explained in
Chapter
7 - TCP/IP
(DSI supports only 3 Logical Printers).
Socket numbers are defined as follows:
Logical Printer No.
Socket No.
1 4010
2 4020
3 4030
Printing Using PSfilter
PSfilter is a proprietary print method provided with the LevelOne Printer Server as “C”
source code. It provides many print options. To use PSfilter, a C compiler and Socket
Library must exist on the host so that psfilter.c can be compiled to an executable file.
The PSfilter program is shipped in source code as
psfilter.c
. Detailed instructions for
installing, configuring, and using PSfilter are provided in the following files. These files,
along with PSfilter.c, are stored on the CD-ROM in the following directories:
PS\driver\lpti\lpsource (text format)
PS\driver\lpti\tar (tar format)
