3-2 Printing from UNIX Workstations
TO PRINT FROM UNIX
• On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lpr command
to send a job to the EX7750, as follows:
lpr <-Pprinter> <-#copies><filename>
For example, if the Print queue of your EX7750 is named print_Server, your file is
named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:
lpr -Pprint_Server -#2 Sample
• On a system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the
lp command to send a job to the EX7750, as follows:
lp -d <printername> -n <copies><filename>
For example, if the Print queue of your EX7750 is named print_Server, your file is
named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:
lp -d print_Server -n 2 Sample
TO DISPLAY A LIST OF JOBS IN THE QUEUE
• On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lpq command
to see printer jobs in the queue, as follows:
lpq <-Pprinter>
For example, if the Print queue of your EX7750 is named print_Server, type:
lpq -Pprint_Server
Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.
• On a system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the
lpstat command to see printer jobs in the queue, as follows:
lpstat -o <printername>
For example, if the Print queue of your EX7750 is named print_Server, type:
lpstat -o print_Server
Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.
