● The LAN hardware address (or station address) of the print server. This address is printed with print server status information on the HP Jetdirect configuration page and is of the form: HARDWARE ADDRESS: xxxxxxxxxxxx where x is a hexadecimal digit (for example, 0001E6123ABC). ● An IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server. LPD Setup Overview The following steps are necessary to configure the HP Jetdirect print server for LPD printing: 1. Setting up IP parameters. 2. Setting up print queues. 3. Printing a test file. The following sections provide detailed descriptions for each step. Step 1. Setting Up IP Parameters To set up IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect print server, refer to TCP/IP Configuration on page 17. 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 A-2 Supported Queue Names raw, raw1, raw2, raw3 no processing text, text1, text2, text3 carriage return added auto, auto1, auto2, auto3 automatic binps, binps1, binps2, binps3 binary PostScript (Full-featured print servers only) Queues are defined by the user; may optionally include command strings before and after the print data. 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.)

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.

●
The LAN hardware address (or station address) of the print server. This address is printed with
print server status information on the HP Jetdirect configuration page and is of the form:
HARDWARE ADDRESS
: xxxxxxxxxxxx
where x is a hexadecimal digit (for example, 0001E6123ABC).
●
An IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server.
LPD Setup Overview
The following steps are necessary to configure the HP Jetdirect print server for LPD printing:
1.
Setting up IP parameters.
2.
Setting up print queues.
3.
Printing a test file.
The following sections provide detailed descriptions for each step.
Step 1. Setting Up IP Parameters
To set up IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect print server, refer to
TCP/IP Configuration
on page
17
.
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 A-2
Supported Queue Names

,
raw1
,

,

,
binps3
binary PostScript
<user-defined>
(Full-featured print servers only) Queues are defined by the user; may optionally
include command strings before and after the print data.
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.
For the
binps
queue, the PostScript interpreter interprets the print job as binary PostScript data.
