Some examples are given in the DocuColor User Guide. TO PRINT TO THE DOCUCOLOR: • On a UNIX system running SunOS 4 or other BSD-based variant, use the lpr command to send a job to the DocuColor. • On a UNIX system running Solaris 2 or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the lp command to send a job to the DocuColor. • Windows NT users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send print jobs to a DocuColor from their applications or from a command prompt. Printing from applications uses the Windows NT PostScript driver. This gives Windows NT users a larger selection of print options than printing from the command line.

To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any com-
puter on the network, at the command prompt, type:
ping
<IP address>
Type the DocuColor IP address assigned in DocuColor Network Setup.
After the DocuColor is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you
gave to the DocuColor
ping <hostname>
The server should respond with a message such as
<IP address> is alive
Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address. To
stop the output, type
Control-C.
You can use the
ping
command at any time.

to send a job to the DocuColor.
On a UNIX system running Solaris 2 or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the
lp command to send a job to the DocuColor.
Windows NT users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send print jobs to a DocuColor
