Printing to the DocuColor

You can print to the DocuColor directly from UNIX. Jobs printed to the DocuColor
are sent to the Print queue and can be manipulated from Macintosh and Windows
computers on the network.

The queue name and DocuColor printer name are established by your system
administrator. Contact your system administrator for the name of your queues.

The internal rp name that must be matched exactly when

setting up printing to the DocuColor is:

For information about setting up printing from TCP/IP, see your UNIX system
documentation.

Printing to the DocuColor

You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript files and text files to the DocuColor.
In general, the basic printing commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) can be used to send print jobs
to a DocuColor. See your UNIX manual pages or other documentation for
information about UNIX commands.

print_Server

, your file is

named
