Using the Ethernet Card For example, if you want to set up the EPSON Stylus COLOR 850N (with an Ethernet card name of Printer and redirected from local printer lp) as PRINTRA, which prints ASCII files with carriage returns, type the following: :lp : rm = Printer : rp = lpa : sd = /var/spool/PRINTRA: 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each remote printer option (a different one for each lpr filter) you want to add. Use a new remote printer name and local printer name for each. Note: Because lpr may strip control characters, you may prefer to print using ftp. Printing with Standard UNIX Systems Once you have set up the printer, you can use either lpr or ftp to send a print file from any workstation. The EPSON Stylus COLOR 850N can handle many separate communications channels simultaneously. However, unless it is combined with a compatible spooling unit, the printer does not have any disk-spooling capability. Print jobs received while the printer is processing a job are stacked and printed in rotation. The printer responds to a print query by sending back information on the status of the current print job and any stacked jobs. If it receives the query when all available connections are in use, it does not respond. Using Ftp to Print By default, ftp uses binary file transfer. If you want to include carriage returns at the end of lines, change to ASCII file transfer by typing ascii on the command line. To change back to binary file transfer, type binary on the command line. You can also append a form feed to the end of a print job by naming the destination file FEED or feed. 6-16

Using the Ethernet Card
6-16
For example, if you want to set up the EPSON Stylus
COLOR 850N (with an Ethernet card name of Printer and
redirected from local printer lp) as PRINTRA, which prints
ASCII files with carriage returns, type the following:
:lp : rm = Printer : rp = lpa : sd = /var/spool/PRINTRA:
3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each remote printer option (a
different one for each lpr filter) you want to add. Use a new
remote printer name and local printer name for each.
Printing with Standard UNIX Systems
Once you have set up the printer, you can use either lpr or ftp
to send a print file from any workstation.
The EPSON Stylus COLOR 850N can handle many separate
communications channels simultaneously. However, unless it is
combined with a compatible spooling unit, the printer does not
have any disk-spooling capability. Print jobs received while the
printer is processing a job are stacked and printed in rotation.
The printer responds to a print query by sending back
information on the status of the current print job and any
stacked jobs. If it receives the query when all available
connections are in use, it does not respond.
Using Ftp to Print
By default, ftp uses binary file transfer. If you want to include
carriage returns at the end of lines, change to ASCII file transfer
by typing
ascii
on the command line. To change back to binary
file transfer, type
binary
on the command line.
You can also append a form feed to the end of a print job by
naming the destination file
FEED
or
feed
.
Note:
Because lpr may strip
control characters, you
may prefer to print using
ftp.
