After processing has finished, press F10 to exit SMIT. 7. At the command prompt, enter eng -A to view the print queues just entered. 8. Enter qprt -Pqueuename filename to send a job to the printer. Direct Socket Printing Within TCP/IP environments, there are some setups which require the host to print directly to a TCP port number on the Ethernet Interface, bypassing all of the higher level destination/queue names. If you run into a setup which requires this, you will need to define two parameters for a new print setup: 1. Ethernet Interface IP address. The IP address or host name of the print server to which you want to print. 2. Ethernet Interface TCP port number. A pre-defined number for the I/O port on the print server. 9100 is the default port number. Though the host will be sending directly to a TCP port number on the Ethernet Interface, the port numbers are still mapped to destinations/queues in case there is some type of special processing or logging to be done to the job. However, the destination name is of no concern in this type of printer definition. Only the two parameters mentioned above need to be defined for printing to work. 121
