print a test file.
1.
At the UNIX system prompt type:
lpr -Pprinter_name file_name
where

is the designated printer and
file_name
refers to the file to be printed.
Examples
(for BSD-based systems):
Text File:
lpr -Ptext1 textfile
PCL File:
lpr -Praw1 pclfile.pcl
PostScript File:
lpr -Praw1 psfile.ps
HP-GL/2 File:
lpr -Praw1 hpglfile.hpg
For HP-UX systems, substitute
lp -d
for
lpr -P.
2.
To get print status, type the following at the UNIX prompt:
lpq -Pprinter_name
where
printer_name
is the designated printer.
Examples
(for BSD-based systems):
lpq -Ptext1
