Print a test file To verify that the printer and print server connections are correct, print a test file using the following steps: 1. At the UNIX system prompt type: lpr -Pprintername filename In the example, printername is the designated printer and filename is the file to print. 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, use lp -d instead of lpr -P. 2. To display the print status, type the following at the UNIX prompt: lpq -Pprintername In the example, printername is the designated printer. Examples (for BSD-based systems): lpq -Ptext1 lpq -Praw1 For HP-UX systems, use lpstat instead of lpq -P. This completes the process for configuring the HP Jetdirect print server to use LPD.
