ENWW Configuring for LPD Printing 157

Step 2. Setting Up Print Queues

You must set up a print queue for each printer or printer personality

(PCL or PostScript) you use on your system. Also, different queues

are required for formatted and unformatted files. The queue names

text and raw in the following examples (see rp tag) have special

meanings.

The line printer daemon on the HP Jetdirect print server treats

data in the text queue as unformatted text or ASCII, and adds a

carriage return to each line before sending it to the printer. (Note

that the actual observed behavior is that a PCL line termination

command (value of 2) is issued at the beginning of the job.)

The line printer daemon treats data in the raw queue as formatted

files in PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2 languages and sends the data

without change to the printer.

Data in the auto queue will be automatically processed as text or

raw, as appropriate.

For the binps queue, the PostScript interpreter interprets the print

job as binary PostScript data.

For user-defined queue names, the line printer daemon adds

user-defined strings before or after the print data (user-defined

print queues can be set up through Telnet, Chapter 3

, or the

embedded Web server, Chapter 4

If the queue name is not one of the above, the HP Jetdirect print

server assumes it to be raw1.

Step 3. Printing a Test File

Print a test file using the LPD commands. For instructions, see the

information provided for your system.
