Page 298 highlights

Submitting print jobs from a non-AIX UNIX system with the InfoPrint (lprafp) LPR client When you submit print jobs from the InfoPrint LPR client on a non-AIX UNIX system, all you need to specify is the InfoPrint Manager server and the name of an InfoPrint destination (either logical or actual). The LPD submits the job to the InfoPrint print spool. If you enter the LPR shell script with the -A flag, it invokes the lprafp command program (lprafp.c), which is documented in the InfoPrint Manager: Reference. If you enter the LPR shell script without the -A flag, it invokes the AIX system's LP command, which does not support the InfoPrint -o options. Submitting print jobs through the LPD from a Windows system You can use any LPR client, but to be able to specify advanced InfoPrint options on the -o flag, you must make sure that your LPR client supports -o options. Sample code for an LPR client called lprafp is provided for download on the InfoPrint Solutions Company Web site. To obtain and install this LPR client, see "Install and configure lprafp for Windows from the Web." Note: If you use another LPR client, make sure that you specify the flag for specifying binary data. For example, on the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing LPD (the default LPR on Windows operating systems), this flag is the -Ol or the -o l (lowercase L) option, depending upon your Windows operating system. . Install and configure lprafp for Windows from the Web For Windows operating system clients, the lprafp sample code package is available for free download from the InfoPrint Solutions Company Web site at http://www.infoprint.com/printers. Use this procedure to locate and install the package. 1. Navigate to http://www.infoprint.com in your web browser. 2. Under Get support, click Download and drivers. 3. Under Print management and driver software, click InfoPrint Manger. 4. On the Downloads page, find lprafp and click to download. 5. Use a zip utility to unzip the package. 6. Open the readme.txt file and follow the instructions for installing the package on a Windows system. 284 InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Procedures

Submitting print jobs from a non-AIX UNIX system with the
InfoPrint (lprafp) LPR client
When you submit print jobs from the InfoPrint
LPR
client on a non-AIX UNIX
system, all you need to specify is the InfoPrint Manager server and the name of an
InfoPrint destination (either logical or actual). The
LPD
submits the job to the
InfoPrint print spool. If you enter the
LPR
shell script with the
-A
flag, it invokes
the
lprafp
command program (
lprafp.c
), which is documented in the
InfoPrint
Manager: Reference
. If you enter the
LPR
shell script without the
-A
flag, it invokes
the AIX system's LP command, which does not support the InfoPrint
-o
options.
Submitting print jobs through the LPD from a Windows system
You can use any
LPR
client, but to be able to specify advanced InfoPrint options
on the
-o
flag, you must make sure that your
LPR
client supports
-o
options.
Sample code for an
LPR
client called
lprafp
is provided for download on the
InfoPrint Solutions Company Web site. To obtain and install this
LPR
client, see
“Install and configure lprafp for Windows from the Web.”
Note:
If you use another
LPR
client, make sure that you specify the flag for
specifying binary data. For example, on the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing
LPD
(the
default
LPR
on Windows operating systems), this flag is the
—Ol
or the
—o l
(lowercase
L
) option, depending upon your Windows operating system.
.
