If the print job is not successful, try printing directly from DOS using the following syntax: lpr -S -P filename where ipaddress is the IP address of the print server, queuename is the name "raw" or "text" and filename is the file you wish to print. If the file prints correctly, the configuration was successful. If the file does not print, or prints incorrectly, see Troubleshooting the HP Jetdirect Print Server. Printing from Windows Clients If the LPD printer on the Windows server is shared, Windows clients can connect to the printer on the Windows server using the Windows Add Printer utility in the Printers folder.

Verifying the Configuration
In Windows, print a file from any application. If the file prints correctly, the configuration was
successful.
If the print job is not successful, try printing directly from DOS using the following syntax:
lpr -S <ipaddress> -P<queuename> filename
where
ipaddress
is the IP address of the print server,
queuename
is the name “raw” or “text” and
filename
is the file you wish to print. If the file prints correctly, the configuration was successful. If
the file does not print, or prints incorrectly, see
Troubleshooting
the
HP
Jetdirect
Print
Server
.
Printing from Windows Clients
If the LPD printer on the Windows server is shared, Windows clients can connect to the printer on the
Windows server using the Windows Add Printer utility in the Printers folder.
