LPD Setup Overview The following steps are necessary to configure the HP Jetdirect print server for LPD printing: 1 Setting up IP parameters. 2 Setting up print queues. 3 Printing a test file. The following sections provide detailed descriptions for each step. Step 1. Setting Up IP Parameters To set up IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect print server, refer to TCP/IP Configuration. For more information on TCP/IP networks, refer to TCP/IP Overview. Step 2. Setting Up Print Queues You must set up a print queue for each printer or printer personality (PCL or PostScript) you use on your system. Also, different queues are required for formatted and unformatted files. The queue names text and raw in the following examples (see rp tag) have special meanings. Table C-2 Supported Queue Names raw, raw1, raw2, raw3 text, text1, text2, text3 auto, auto1, auto2, auto3 binps, binps1, binps2, binps3 no processing carriage return added automatic binary PostScript defined by user; optionally including command strings before and after the print data The line printer daemon on the HP Jetdirect print server treats data in the text queue as unformatted text or ASCII, and adds a carriage return to each line before sending it to the printer. (Note that the actual observed behavior is that a PCL line termination command (value of 2) is issued at the beginning of the job.) The line printer daemon treats data in the raw queue as formatted files in PCL, PostScript, or HPGL/2 languages and sends the data without change to the printer. Data in the auto queue will be automatically processed as text or raw as appropriate. For the binps queue, the PostScript interpreter interprets the print job as binary PostScript data. For user-defined queue names, the line printer daemon adds user-defined strings before or after the print data (user-defined print queues can be set up through Telnet, TCP/IP Configuration, or the embedded Web server, Using the Embedded Web Server). If the queue name is not one of the above, the HP Jetdirect print server assumes it to be raw1. ENWW LPD Setup Overview 97

LPD Setup Overview
The following steps are necessary to configure the HP Jetdirect print server for LPD printing:
1
Setting up IP parameters.
2
Setting up print queues.
3
Printing a test file.
The following sections provide detailed descriptions for each step.
Step 1. Setting Up IP Parameters
To set up IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect print server, refer to
TCP/IP
Configuration
. For more
information on TCP/IP networks, refer to
TCP/IP
Overview
.
Step 2. Setting Up Print Queues
You must set up a print queue for each printer or printer personality (PCL or PostScript) you use on
your system. Also, different queues are required for formatted and unformatted files. The queue
names
text
and
raw
in the following examples (see
rp
tag) have special meanings.
Table C-2
Supported Queue Names
raw, raw1, raw2, raw3
no processing
text, text1, text2, text3
carriage return added
auto, auto1, auto2, auto3
automatic
binps, binps1, binps2, binps3
binary PostScript
<user-defined>
defined by user; optionally including command strings before
and after the print data
The line printer daemon on the HP Jetdirect print server treats data in the
text
queue as
unformatted text or ASCII, and adds a carriage return to each line before sending it to the printer.
(Note that the actual observed behavior is that a PCL line termination command (value of 2) is issued
at the beginning of the job.)
The line printer daemon treats data in the
raw
queue as formatted files in PCL, PostScript, or HP-
GL/2 languages and sends the data without change to the printer.
Data in the
auto
queue will be automatically processed as
text
or
raw
as appropriate.
For the
binps
queue, the PostScript interpreter interprets the print job as binary PostScript data.
For user-defined queue names, the line printer daemon adds user-defined strings before or after the
print data (user-defined print queues can be set up through Telnet,
TCP/IP
Configuration
, or the
embedded Web server,
Using
the
Embedded
Web
Server
).
If the queue name is not one of the above, the HP Jetdirect print server assumes it to be
raw1
.
