1 - 6 UNIX PRINTING

Linux Configuration

If you do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your

Linux distribution, you may wish to use the Linux Printer System

Manager application on your GUI. To do this, do the following:

From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the

Add

button.

You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are

using, select the

Remote Unix (lpd) Queue

option and click

You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue

name and the input filter to use.

The

Remote Host

name is the IP address of the printer, or the

name from the hosts file which corresponds to the IP address of

the printer.

The

Remote Queue

name is the service name that the printer

will use when processing the data. Generally we recommend

that you use the name “BINARY_P1”, however, if you are

planning to send text documents that do not have a carriage

return and a line feed, then use “TEXT_P1”.

Select the appropriate

Input Filter

from the list of available

printers on your particular build of Linux.

In order to make your settings work, select the

Restart lpd

option.

As soon as the lpd server restarts, you will be able to send printed

documents from your server.

Linux Configuration Using CUPS

Many Linux systems support Common Unix Printing System

(CUPS).
