Print-ready file printing in UNIX systems

For UNIX systems, any command method that delivers the print-ready file to the product is acceptable,

home/yourmachine/FILENAME> is the location of the print-ready file.

Print-ready file printing by using the LPR command

This direct-printing method is for use in Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and

Windows Server 2003.

Complete the following steps to print a print-ready file by using the LPR command.

1. Make note of the TCP/IP address on the Embedded Jetdirect page. The HP Embedded Jetdirect

page is the second page of the configuration page printout. To print a configuration page, see

the configuration page .

2. From a command window, type the following:

lpr -P IPADDRESS -S IPADDRESS -o l FILENAME lpr -S <IPADDRESS> -Pbinps

where IPADDRESS can be either the TCP/IP address or the host name of the product, and where

FILENAME is the file name of the print-ready file.

The parameter (-o l) consists of a lowercase "O", not a zero, and a lowercase "L", not the numeral

1. This parameter sets the transport protocol to binary mode.

3. The file prints, but no messages appear in the command prompt window.

4. Type exit at the command prompt to close the command window.
