PRINTING USING XEROX UTILITIES AND LPR UTILITIES (DOS AND UNIX)
3-2 GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT
Print
Use the print command to send a document to a specific print queue
and to specify printing options you want to apply to your document.
Note: Users of korn shell on UNIX will have to alias the Xerox print
command, since ksh has a built-in
command.
To submit a print job, type the print command and its options on the
command line using the following syntax:
Syntax print -printername <vpname> [<options>] <filenames>
OR
print -p <vpname> [<options>] <filenames>
Note: The syntax above only works when printing to the default
NPS Controller. Customers with more than one NPS Controller must
specify the Controller’s hostname using the “-ser” or “-server” option.
When using the “-ser” or “-server” option, the virtual printer must exist
on the alternate server.
Required
arguments
-printername <vpname> OR -p <vpname>
The virtual printer you want to use. To determine which virtual
printers are available, use the listq command. Refer to “Listq” in
this chapter for more information.
<filenames>
The name of the file you want to print, including any filename
extension.
Note: In UNIX, when you specify the name of the file, make sure it
does not include the following characters: & ! ” ‘ ’ $ - ; ? These
characters in filenames may conflict with other UNIX commands and
expressions.
If you specify more than one file, the banner page displays the
name of the first file. If you use the listjob command, the name
of the first file appears as the job name.
Options In addition to the required arguments, you can use any of the
following options to specify print characteristics. You may enter more
than one option at a time.
When entering options, you only need to enter as many characters
as is necessary to differentiate one option from others. The
characters underlined in the option name make the options unique.
When entering the arbitrary text after the print options, shown in
angle brackets below, make sure the text string does not contain any
spaces. If you enter text that contains spaces, enclose the text with
double quotation marks.
