Before continuing, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the IOPRINT+ Print
Server. Remember the following:
• The remote host name is the name of the IOPRINT+ Print Server.
• The remote printer name is the logical printer (L1..L3, or L1..L8) on the IOPRINT+ Print
Server.
• If asked for the LPD type, enter the service type as BSD.
• In the sample commands shown, printer_name is the Print Queue serviced by the logical
printer on the IOPRINT+ Print Server, and Spooler_dir is the name of the directory used
to spool the print jobs.
