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 on page 17, or the embedded Web server, Embedded Web Server (V.36.xx) on page 61). 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 short_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.

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
on page
17
,
or the embedded Web server,
Embedded Web Server (V.36.xx)
on page
61
).
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
short_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
lj1_raw|raw1:\
:lp=:\
:rm=laserjet1:\
:rp=raw:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/lj1_raw.log:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lj1_raw:
If your printer does not support automatic switching between PostScript, PCL, and HP-GL/2 languages,
use the printer's control panel (if the printer has one) to select the printer language or rely on the
application to select the printer language via commands embedded in the print data.
