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, HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.31.xx)). 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. LPD on UNIX Systems Configuring Print Queues for BSD-based Systems Edit the /etc/printcap file to include the following entries: printer_name|short_printer_name:\ :lp=:\ :rm=node_name:\ :rp=remote_printer_name_argument:\ :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/error_log_filename:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/printer_name: where printer_name identifies the printer to the user, node_name identifies the printer on the network, and remote_printer_name_argument is the print queue designation (such as text, raw, binps, auto, or user-defined). For more information on printcap, see the printcap man page. Example: Printcap Entries for ASCII or Text Printers lj1_text|text1:\ :lp=:\ :rm=laserjet1:\ :rp=text:\ :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/lj1_text.log:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lj1_text: Example: Printcap Entries for PostScript, PCL, or HP-GL/2 Printers 146 Appendix A LPD Printing ENWW
