Adding Filters to
a Service
Changing the
Service Name
A filter is a program built into the print server that performs a specific function. The following filters are
available:
filter no. Description
ONE This filter substitutes one user-specified character string for another character string. By
default, it substitutes a carriage return character plus a linefeed character every time a
linefeed character is encountered in the data stream. It is useful for printing UNIX text
files, because such files do not have carriage returns at the end at the end of lines.
filter no. Description
TWO This filter species that AppleTalk can be used on the service.
filter no. Description
THREE This filter converts a text file to PostScript for use with PostScript-only printers
filter no. Description
FOUR This filter enables the HP Tagged Binary Communications Protocol to allow AppleTalk
binary jobs to be printed via the parallel port.
The service TEXT_pp is predefined with the text filter, while the service TWC_xxxxxx_pp_AT has the
AppleTalk filter enabled. To use a filter with other services, use the following command:
SET SERVICE name FILTER fltrno ENABLED
The name is the name of the service and fltrno is the number of the filter (e.g., 1 for the text filter).
The default service names are rather long and difficult to remember. If you want to change a service name to
something more meaningful, execute the following command from the print server remote console:
SET SERVICE oldname NAME newname
