3-1 Printing to the Fiery ZX
You can print to the Fiery ZX directly from UNIX. Jobs printed to the Fiery ZX are
sent to the Print queue or Hold queue and can be manipulated from the Command
WorkStation or from Windows and Mac OS computers on the network using the
Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler.
NOTE: If you print to the Hold queue, someone such as an operator must intervene at
the Command WorkStation or from the Fiery WebSpooler for the job to print; jobs
sent to the Hold queue are spooled to disk and held.
The queue name and Fiery ZX printer name are established by your system
administrator. Contact your system administrator for the names of your queues.
For information about setting up printing from TCP/IP, see your UNIX system
documentation.
Printing to the Fiery ZX
You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript files and text files to the Fiery ZX. In
general, the basic print commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) can be used to send print jobs to a
Fiery ZX. See your UNIX manual pages or other documentation for information
about UNIX commands.
NOTE: Only PostScript or text file formats can be printed from UNIX.
TO PRINT FROM UNIX:
• On a system running SunOS v4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lpr command
to send a job to the Fiery ZX as follows:
lpr <-Pprinter> <-#copies> <filename>
For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery ZX is named print_Server, your file is
named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:
lpr -Pprint_Server -#2 Sample
