lprafp is a version of LPR that lets you use -o options to specify advanced print options when you submit jobs to InfoPrint Manager. You can download an lprafp sample code package (including a compiled version of the code that can be used on AIX version 4.3.3 and later) from the Ricoh Production Print Solutions Company Web site at http://www.infoprint.com/. Ricoh Production Print Solutions Company does not provide support for the package. The InfoPrint Manager LPD is installed and activated with your InfoPrint Manager for Windows server. It is the only LPD that properly processes the -o options that lprafp submits. If you use a different LPD (such as TCP/IP Print Services, the LPD that is shipped with the Windows operating system), the -o options that you send will be lost. Note: The LPD supplied with the Windows operating system (TCP/IP Print Services) does support a -o option, but it is not the same. This -o option specifies the binary option. If you use the InfoPrint Manager LPD, you will only be able to LPR print jobs to InfoPrint Manager destinations, not to Windows printers. If you use a different LPD, you will only be able to LPR to Windows printers. To submit a job to InfoPrint Manager, you will have to set up a Windows gateway printer. If you cannot use lprafp and/or the InfoPrint Manager LPD, you can use the standard LPR and a different LPD to submit jobs from an AIX system to your InfoPrint Manager for Windows system. However, you will not be able to use advanced print options. Important: 1. Do not use this procedure if you have InfoPrint Manager for AIX installed on your AIX system. If you have InfoPrint Manager for AIX installed, you should use the InfoPrint Manager AIX Client to submit print jobs from AIX systems to your InfoPrint Manager servers. In addition, you should consider setting up an interoperating environment so your InfoPrint Manager servers can work together. For additional information about interoperability, see "Configuring for interoperability between an InfoPrint AIX server and an InfoPrint Windows server" on page 136. 2. When you enter the lpr command, you must specify the option that designates binary or already-formatted data. For example, on AIX you must use the -l (lowercase "L") option on the lpr. To submit jobs from an AIX system to your InfoPrint Manager for Windows system, you must complete these tasks: v "Verify that the InfoPrint Manager LPD is running" v "Install and configure lprafp" on page 305 Verify that the InfoPrint Manager LPD is running 1. On the system that your InfoPrint Manager server runs on, open the InfoPrint Manager Management Console. 2. Click Edit → Service Configuration. 3. In the Service Configuration dialog, find Run InfoPrint Manager LPD service check box. 304 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures

lprafp
is a version of LPR that lets you use –o options to specify advanced print
options when you submit jobs to InfoPrint Manager. You can download an
lprafp
sample code package (including a compiled version of the code that can be used
on AIX version 4.3.3 and later) from the Ricoh Production Print Solutions
Company Web site at http://www.infoprint.com/. Ricoh Production Print
Solutions Company does not provide support for the package.
The InfoPrint Manager LPD is installed and activated with your InfoPrint Manager
for Windows server. It is the only LPD that properly processes the –o options that
lprafp
submits. If you use a different LPD (such as
TCP/IP Print Services
, the LPD
that is shipped with the Windows operating system), the –o options that you send
will be lost.
Note:
The LPD supplied with the Windows operating system (TCP/IP Print
Services) does support a –o option, but it is not the same. This –o option specifies
the binary option.
If you use the InfoPrint Manager LPD, you will only be able to LPR print jobs to
InfoPrint Manager destinations, not to Windows printers. If you use a different
LPD, you will only be able to LPR to Windows printers. To submit a job to
InfoPrint Manager, you will have to set up a Windows gateway printer.
If you cannot use lprafp and/or the InfoPrint Manager LPD, you can use the
standard LPR and a different LPD to submit jobs from an AIX system to your
InfoPrint Manager for Windows system. However, you will not be able to use
advanced print options.
Important:
1.
Do not use this procedure if you have InfoPrint Manager for AIX installed on
your AIX system. If you have InfoPrint Manager for AIX installed, you should
use the InfoPrint Manager AIX Client to submit print jobs from AIX systems to
your InfoPrint Manager servers. In addition, you should consider setting up an
interoperating environment so your InfoPrint Manager servers can work
together.
For additional information about interoperability, see “Configuring for
interoperability between an InfoPrint AIX server and an InfoPrint Windows
server” on page 136.
2.
When you enter the lpr command, you must specify the option that designates
binary
or
already-formatted
data. For example, on AIX you must use the
-l
(lowercase "L") option on the lpr.
To submit jobs from an AIX system to your InfoPrint Manager for Windows
system, you must complete these tasks:
v
“Verify that the InfoPrint Manager LPD is running”
v
“Install and configure lprafp” on page 305
Verify that the InfoPrint Manager LPD is running

On the system that your InfoPrint Manager server runs on, open the InfoPrint
