Printing with FTP
Print jobs can also be sent to the Ethernet Interface using the File
Transfer Protocol (FTP). To do this:
1. On your network station, change to the directory containing the file
you want to print.
2. Open an FTP session with the Ethernet Interface.
Syntax:
ftp
EthernetInterfaceIPaddress
3. Log in as “root”.
4. At the password prompt, press ENTER since there is no default
password.
5. Change to the
dest
directory.
Syntax:
cd dest
6. List the contents of this directory using the “dir” command and
determine which destination/queue you would like to send the print
job through. Most likely you will select “
d1prn” for the PRN port.
NOTE: When the IPDS feature is installed, queue name d4prn is not
available.
7. Change to this destination directory.
Example:
cd d1prn
8. Change the mode to correspond with the type of file you are going to
print. By default, ASCII is set for text-only files but if you need to print
both text and graphics, select binary using the “
bin” command.
9. Place the file to be printed within this directory on the Ethernet
Interface so it can be spooled and printed.
Syntax:
put
filename
