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 4.2 Supported Queue Names raw, raw1, raw2, raw3 text, text1, text2, text3 auto, auto1, auto2, auto3 no processing carriage return added automatic 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. If the queue name is not one of the above, the HP JetDirect print server assumes it to be raw1. Step 3. Printing a Test File Print a test file using the LPD commands. For instructions, see the information provided for your system. EN Configuring for LPD Printing 61
