Printing Methods
Printing with lpr and lp
Execute one of the following commands according to type of workstation used:
BSD UNIX workstation, Linux
% lpr -Pprinter_name file_name [file_name...]
For example:
(printer name: np; file names: file1 and file2)
% lpr -Pnp file1 file2
Solaris, HP-UX
% lp -dprinter_name file_name [file_name...]
For example:
(printer name: np; file names: file1 and file2)
% lp -dnp file1 file2
Note
printer_name is the name entered when executing the installation shell
script.
You can use wild cards (* or ?) as the file name.
The print session full appears when the maximum number of print re-
quests is reached (max. 5 sessions - Job Spool setting available). Try printing
again when the number of requests is less than five. You can check the
number of print requests using telnet. For more information about using tel-
net, see Network Guide.
The number of print sessions does not change, even if you increase or reduce
the machine's total memory size.
Printing with rsh, rcp, and ftp
You can also print using the rsh, rcp and ftp commands.
Note
Print using a format the printer supports.
Try to print again when the number of requests is zero.
The print session full appears when the maximum number of print re-
quests is reached.
The maximum number of print sessions varies depending on the command.
When using the rsh or rcp command, the maximum number of print ses-
sions is five; when using the ftp command, the number is three.
