Printing via LPD

The following describes how to print using TCP/IP’s LPD
protocol (lpr, lp commands). Please refer to your workstation’s
manual for the details of the lpr and lp commands. In the
following explanation, printing of a print file “test.prn” using
the printer name “OP8c_lp” is used as an example.

About LPD

LPD (Line Printer Daemon) is the protocol most commonly used
for printing over TCP/IP to a network printer.

About logical printers

The Fast EtherNet includes three logical printers.

In order to print a file created using the printer driver, an “lp”
logical printer must be used for printing.

In order to print a text file of the Shift JIS Kanji code, an “sjis”
logical printer must be used for printing.

In order to print a text file of the EUC Kanji code, an “euc”
logical printer must be used for the printing.
