Configuring for TCP/IP Network Printing
Most computers that support TCP/IP network printing
use the Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol.
This protocol was originally part of the Berkeley Soft-
ware Distribution (BSD) version of the UNIX operating
system. Remote LPD was quickly adopted as a de facto
standard. As a result, Remote LPD is now supported by
most versions of the UNIX operating system and by
many TCP/IP packages available for other operating
systems. Configuration of Remote LPD printing varies
among vendors who supply TCP/IP.
You may also use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for
printing. Typically FTP is used to transfer files between
computers on a TCP/IP network. The OkiLAN 6010e
simply prints the files it receives from FTP.
Remote Print Queue Name
The Remote Print Queue Name determines which
printer port will service the print job. The Remote Print
Queue Name may also be used to specify ASCII print
jobs. Both Remote LPD and FTP have provisions for
specifying a Remote Print Queue Name.
The OkiLAN 6010e looks at the last character of the
Remote Print Queue Name to determine which printer
port will service the print job. All Remote Print Queue
Names should end with the number 1, 2, 3 or 4. If a
number is not specified, the OkiLAN 6010e will use
printer port 1.
