for HP Jetdirect 175x external print server/Internet connector for USB

and HP Jetdirect 310x external print server/Internet connector for

USB

The setup for LPD (Line Printer Daemon), also known as LPR (Line
Printer Request), involves setting up the print queues and creating a
port for printing.

Prerequisites:

Mac OS v.8.6 or higher

LaserWriter 8, version 8.5.1 or higher

Desktop Printer Utility 1.0 or higher

Also verify the general

LPD prerequisites

.

Reference on queues

In the procedure below you will set up a print queue for each printer
or printer personality (PCL or PostScript) used on each system. Also,
different queues are required for formatted and unformatted files. You
can use the queue names listed in the following table.

raw

no processing

text

carriage return added

auto

automatic

binps

binary Postscript

defined by user; optionally including
commend strings before and after the print
data

Meaning of the queue names:

The line printer daemon treats data in an

text

queue as unformatted

or ASCII text, and adds a carriage return to each line before sending it
to the printer. (Note that the actual observed behavior is that a PCL
line termination command (value of 2) is issued at the beginning of
the job.)
