Printing using LPD

For LPD printing instructions, refer to your UNIX manual. The following example is for a
BSD system:

lpr -P printer_name filename

Where:
printer_name

is the name of the Print Queue defined on the Unix host.

filename

is the name of the file you wish to print.

Example:

lpr -P Marketing /etc/hosts

In the above example, the /etc/hosts file is sent to the printer queue Marketing. It will then
be sent to the logical printer associated with this queue.
