:

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 com-
mand line.
