4-1 Printing to the DocuColor
You can print to the DocuColor directly from UNIX. Jobs printed to the DocuColor
are sent to the Print queue and can be manipulated from Macintosh and Windows
computers on the network.
The queue name and DocuColor printer name are established by your system
administrator. Contact your system administrator for the name of your queues.
NOTE FOR ADMINISTRATORS:The internal rp name that must be matched exactly when
setting up printing to the DocuColor is: print.
For information about setting up printing from TCP/IP, see your UNIX system
documentation.
Printing to the DocuColor
You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript files and text files to the DocuColor.
In general, the basic printing commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) can be used to send print jobs
to a DocuColor. See your UNIX manual pages or other documentation for
information about UNIX commands.
NOTE: Make sure that the files are either PostScript or text files. These are the only
formats you can use to print from UNIX.
TO PRINT FROM UNIX:
• On a system running SunOS4 or another BSD-based variant, use the lpr command to
send a job to the DocuColor as follows:
lpr <-Pprinter> <-#copies> <filename>
For example, if the Print queue of your DocuColor is named print_Server, your file is
named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:
lpr -Pprint_Server -#2 Sample
