Windows NT (non-Intel computers) Printing from the command line via lpr To send a PostScript file to the printer using lpr, type the following lpr command in at the MS-DOS command prompt in Windows NT: lpr -S IP-address -P PS filename For example: lpr -S 134.62.36.161 -P PS FONTS.PS s If you get the following message, your printer is spooling to the wrong IP address, LPR is disabled on the printing device, or LPR on the printing device is denying access: Error: print server did not accept request. Job aborted. s If you get the following message, the printer has TCP/IP disabled or your printer is spooling to an invalid IP address: Error: print server unreachable or specified printer does not exist. Print a Configuration Page and make sure that TCP/IP is still enabled. For instructions on how to print a Configuration Page and enable protocols, see your printer's networking setup guide. Check to see if your printer is spooling to a correct IP address. Note When using the lpr command at a DOS command prompt when the Name of the print queue is not PS, this message is displayed: Error: print server did not accept request. Job aborted. Checking the IP address of the Windows NT server If you have tried the techniques described in this troubleshooting topic and communication is still not happening, check the IP address of the Windows NT server. If it is in a different class (possibly even a different network number in the same class), it can prevent communication from taking place. PhaserShare Networking Manual 23

To send a PostScript file to the printer using
lpr,
type the following
lpr
command in at the
MS-DOS command prompt in Windows NT:
lpr
-S
IP-address
-P
PS
filename
For example:
lpr -S 134.62.36.161 -P PS FONTS.PS
If you get the following message, your printer is spooling to the wrong IP address, LPR
is disabled on the printing device, or LPR on the printing device is denying access:
If you get the following message, the printer has TCP/IP disabled or your printer is
spooling to an invalid IP address:
Checking the IP address of the Windows NT server
If you have tried the techniques described in this troubleshooting topic and
communication is still not happening, check the IP address of the Windows NT server.
If
it is in a different class (possibly even a different network number in the same class), it can
prevent communication from taking place.
Error: print server did not accept request.
Job aborted.
Error: print server unreachable or specified
printer does not exist.
Print a Configuration Page and make sure that TCP/IP is still
enabled.
For instructions on how to print a Configuration Page
and enable protocols, see your printer‘s networking setup guide.
Check to see if your printer is spooling to a correct IP address.
Note
When using the lpr command at a DOS command
prompt when the Name of the print queue is not PS,
this message is displayed:
Error: print server did not
accept request. Job aborted.
