5. Start the printer daemon for this new printer.
Example:
lpc start 1000Q
You now have a new printer which relies on LPR/LPD to print to a NIC.
Use the following command to test printing:
Syntax:
lpr -printername filename
Example:
lpr -1000Q /etc/hosts
FTP Printing
NIC contains four logical printers (destinations) labeled as d1prn through
d4prn. For FTP printing, establish an FTP session, followed by a
put to the
dest . Since the printer emulation can be PCL

-II, Epson

, or Proprinter

, be
sure the file you put to print is both printable and suitable for the printer
emulation. Straight text is usable in all cases.
Example:
Type the commands as shown, followed by the enter key. Assume the file you
want to print is
/etc/inetd.conf , which is a simple text file.
ftp MyP5000LJ ( MyP5000LJ needs to be a ping-able DNS name, or if no
DNS, in the local /etc/hosts file, or it can be a dotted IP Address for the
NIC)
at the user prompt, type
root
at the password prompt, press ENTER (default password for root is blank
until you change it)
cd dest/d1prn
put /etc/inetd.conf
quit
Remote Shell Printing
The NIC is BSD capable, and has an internal lp daemon. Each Unix system
has a remote shell function which can be used to access this process: Sun,
etc. is
rsh ; UX is remsh ; AIX is rcmd .
For example, printing the file /etc/inetd.conf on an HP-UX system to
the second logical dest in the NIC:
remsh MyP5000LJ lp -d d2prn < /etc/indetd.conf
You may also use this form:
cat /etc/inetd.conf | remsh MyP5000LJ lp -d d2prn
In this form of printing the printer status will be fed back as to on/off line.
Note If the file you want to print is a binary file, enter the command bin before
the put command.
