NOTE: On some systems, the ping command continuously
displays messages such as:
64 bytes from 8650 (192.185.2.3) icmp_seq=0 time=3ms
To discontinue the ping command, press
delete
or
Ctrl-C
.
For more information about the printer status, use the lpq
command:
lpq -P <printername>
Multiple Queues
The Network Interface Card supports simultaneous printing from
up to 12 queues. The card listens for lpd connections on 12 ports.
If all 12 are being used at a given time, the 13th lpd will not be
able to connect to the card. If this happens, the lpd can be
restarted using the command:
lpc restart <queuename>
SGI Systems
On SGI systems, install the following BSD Printing Support
modules from the SGI installation CD-ROM:
eoe2.sw.bsdlpr (software)
eoe2.man.bsdlpr(on-line manual)
If you experience problems using the UNIX installation script, it
may be necessary to edit the etc/hosts file and printcap files
manually.
The lpc command may be used to start/restart/enable printers
and queues.
