Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP

Chapter 1
Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP)

Overview

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
provides network administrators with the ability to
communicate management functions between an SNMP
manager and an SNMP agent. An SNMP manager is a
user program the network administrator can use to
manage SNMP agents. The manager can retrieve Get
information from the agent or alter Set information on
the agent. An agent can also send an unsolicited
message Trap to a manager when it encounters an
unusual condition.

The OkiLAN 6020e is a fully functional SNMP agent
and supports any standard SNMP management
platform, including:

• HP OpenView

• Novell NMS

• Sun SunNet Manager

• IBM NetView

Advanced Management

Private MIB

OkiLAN 6020e SNMP support has been enhanced with
a private MIB. It is accessible via SNMP over TCP/IP
and IPX. This private MIB contains over 150
configuration and status variables for the network
protocols, printer ports, network interfaceprinter
settings, and the overall OkiLAN 6020e status. Printer
status traps such as on-line, off-line, detached printer
and printer error are also provided.

The setting of certain variables causes an immediate
firmware reset. These variables are listed in the private
MIB under cmdReset.

OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide

II - 3

Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP

Note: If you attempt a reset while a job is printing, the job

may not print successfully .

Certain variables are critical, that is, they change a
fundamental operating parameter of the OkiLAN
6020e. These variables are saved by the OkiLAN
6020e but are not actually used until it is power cycled
or is reset. When any one of these variables is changed
the variable genConfigDirty is automatically set to yes
by the print server. This signifies a reset is required for
all configuration changes to be made active. We
recommend checking the genConfigDirty variable after
using a MIB browser to make any configuration
changes to the OkiLAN 6020e. If genConfigDirty is set
to yes, then the cmdReset variable should also be set to
yes. This will cause the OkiLAN 6020e to reset, make
all configuration changes active on the OkiLAN 6020e
and set both the cmdReset and genConfigDirty
variables to no. These critical variables are listed in the
private MIB under genConfigDirty.

T raps

Traps are unsolicited information from the SNMP
agent. The OkiLAN 6020e uses a ColdStart trap to
inform the manager it has been powered on or reset. An
authentication failure trap is sent when the OkiLAN
6020e receives an SNMP trap GET or SET request with
an incorrect community name.

The OkiLAN 6020e sends printer traps when there is a
change in the status of the printer. If the Printer goes
off-line, runs out of paper or is detached, the
administrator will be notified via the OkiLAN 6020e
traps over both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the
OkiLAN 6020e can send traps on toner low, paper jam,
and printer cover open, depending on the printer’s
capabilities. The traps may be configured for specific
destination addresses and can be configured for a
particular printer port and/or printer trap.

II - 4

OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide

Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP

In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN
6020e must have bi-directional status enabled (it is
disabled by default). Extended Status can be enabled
through the OkiLAN 6020e Configuration utility
(telnet) from the Configure Port option. You can also
enable OkiNet Alert through OkiNet for TCP/IP or IPX
from the Output Port file tab.

Security

SNMP implements a simple security system known as
community names. Each SNMP message has a
community name associated with the command in the
message. SNMP allows for a Set community name, Get
community name and a Trap community name. When
the SNMP Agent receives a command, it checks the
community name of the message with the community
name of the device. If the community names do not
match, the Agent discards the message and sends an
authentication failure trap.

Both the OkiNet for TCP/IP and the IPX, and the
OkiLAN 6020e Configuration utility (telnet) allow you
to specify the community names and a trap destination
IP address.

Troubleshooting

Server Connection

• The print server only supports two simultaneous
HTTP connections. If your browser fails to connect
to the print server, the browser may be trying to open
more than two connections. Please refer to your
browser’s Help files for information on changing the
connection settings. Both Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Explorer for the Macintosh and Power PC
will sometimes display a failure to connect message
after being configured for only two connections.
Should this occur, select OK to bypass the error
message. The menu page will still be displayed and
configuration can be completed.

• Quickly refreshing a page within some browsers can
cause the browser to leave active connections open
with the server called a hung connection. This will
use up one of the HTTP connections, can cause
problems connecting to the server and will slow
down Web response time. If TCP timeout checking
is enabled under TCP/IP configuration, the hung
connection will timeout after the timeout period has
expired.

Advanced Management

Login

• If you forget the administrator password, restoring
the TCP/IP protocol to factory defaults from any
other configuration utility restores the Web admin
name and password to default values.

Configuration

• Web browsers will generally cache previously
viewed Web pages on the local machine. To view the
most current print server information, it is a good
idea to select the Reload or Refresh button on your
browser instead of using the Back button.

OkiNet Alert

OKI OkiNet Alert enterprise management utility allows
administrators to proactively manage printers by being
immediately alerted to printing problems before they
are encountered by users. This remote management
utility can be configured to monitor all SNMP traps
from a list of printers chosen by the administrator,
without requiring HP OpenView. It runs in the
background on any Windows-based PC and alerts the
user with a sound or a screen flash when an error has
occurred, and OkiNet Alert can be configured to
respond only to the specific error conditions that are of
concern to you. You can also launch batch files on
given error conditions. OKI OkiNet Alert can be used
in IPX and IP environments. Additionally, multiple
traps can be sent to multiple destinations on the
network.

Enhanced Printer Status

The OkiLAN 6020e communicates with the printer to
monitor the current condition on the printer. This
information can be observed in real time via the utilities
or can be interpreted by the OkiLAN 6020e to generate
traps to your SNMP management utility of choice: HP
OpenView or the OKI OkiNet Alert utility.

For bi-directional capable printer the OkiLAN 6020e
can retrieve the printer information, such as front panel
message, and display it through the OkiNet utilities.

NetWare Load Balancing

Using this feature, administrators can distribute the
print load among several print servers. Simply assign
the queue to the desired print ports on the selected print
servers.

Advanced Management

Windows Printing

From a W indows operating system, using TCP/IP or
DLC protocols, the OkiNet Connect utility routes the
print job to the appropriate printer without passing
through a file server or print queue. This cuts down on
network printing traffic. For more information, see the
Windows Printing section of this manual.

Printer Security for TCP/IP Printing

The OkiLAN 6020e print server has a Printer Security
for TCP/IP Printing feature which allows the printers

to only be accessed from a specified list of IP
addresses. This feature is accessed via TELNET option
#9, TCP Connection Configuration.

define a refresh rate, select the Automatic Refresh box
and then enter the refresh rate in the field provided.
Decide how frequently to refresh the screen based on
factors such as network traffic and desire for most
recent information. For example, if traffic is not an
issue on your network and the most current information
is desired, set the refresh rate to 1 so the screen is
updated every minute. If network traffic is an issue,
you may wish to set the refresh rate to 10. This would
update the screen every ten minutes and minimize

Chapter 3
OkiNet for NDS

Overview

OkiNet for NDS is a Dynamic Link Library (DLL)
which allows users to create and manage OKI print
server objects in the NDS tree. OkiNet for NDS
integrates into Novell’s NetWare Administrator, a
Windows-based utility that allows users to view and
manage their NetWare 4.x NDS tree. Once OkiNet for
NDS is integrated into NetWare Administrator, users
can manage OKI devices with the same utility used to
manage other network objects such as printers and
queues.

The OkiLAN 6020e supports NetWare NDS using
Novell Embedded Systems Technology, also known as
NEST.

OkiNet for NDS can be installed to support Novell
NetWare version 4.1 or 4.11 and for operating systems
running Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98, and Windows
NT/2000. If you have multiple versions of Windows
operating systems to service, you can install OkiNet for
NDS for each.

OkiNet for NDS supports four different versions of
NWAdmin.

• OkiNet for NDS installation for NetWare version 4.1
(one version of NWAdmin) requires a single
installation which will work for all platforms
including Windows 3.x. Windows 95/98, and
Windows NT/2000.

• The OkiNet for NDS installation for NetWare
version 4.11 requires a separate installation for each
of the three platforms: Windows 3.x, Windows 95/
98, and Windows NT/2000 (three separate versions
of NWAdmin).

Introduction

Overview

This section contains instructions and information on
how to configure your OkiLAN 6020e. You will also be
instructed on how to set up your host computers to print
to the OkiLAN 6020e using the TCP/IP protocol.

OkiLAN 6020e supports TCP/IP methods for printing:

• Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD)

• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

• Printing directly through a TCP port (Raw Port
Printing)

Additionally, if the DHCP protocol is enabled as a
default, the print server may be accessed through an
ordinary Internet Web browser, such as Netscape
Navigator, or by using TELNET. See Chapters 5 and 6
in this section.

Software Requirements

The OkiLAN 6020e may be configured for TCP/IP
using the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility, or from a computer
supporting the OkiNet for NetWare utility, Banyan
VINES OkiNet for VINES utility (may apply to other
OkiLAN print server models), OR telnet and one of the
following:

• Manual arp table entry and ping

• Static route entry using route add command

• DHCP

• RARP

• BOOTP

Section 4 - Chapter 1 - Introduction

Network Preparation

• You should be familiar with network administration
as well as the physical setup and operation of your
network.

• Advise users of possible disruption during
installation.

• Make sure the serial number and Ethernet address of
your OkiLAN 6020e are available.

• Assign an IP address and a hostname (alias) to the
OkiLAN 6020e.

Use the network name service or the “/etc/hosts” file
to add the OkiLAN 6020e to the network.

Before You Start

Before running OkiNet for TCP/IP, you must do the
following:

• Install the OkiLAN 6020e hardware and connect the
cabling. Instructions for hardware installation are
found in Section I of this manual.

• Write down the serial number and Ethernet address
of your OkiLAN 6020e. (These numbers are located
on the OkiLAN 6020e unit.)

• Install OkiNet for TCP/IP-see Section I.

Overview of TCP/IP Configuration

• Assign an IP address for the OkiLAN 6020e

• Configure the OkiLAN 6020e network information

• Configure hosts for printing to the OkiLAN 6020e

• Test print (optional)

Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e

Chapter 2
Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e

Choosing an IP Address

Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a
unique IP address. The IP address can be permanently
stored using one of the following:

• OKI OkiNet management utilities for TCP/IP, Novell
NetWare or Banyan VINES (may apply to other
OkiLAN print server models)

• OkiLAN 6020e Configuration utility via telnet.

Note: The OkiNet utilities are the easiest way to

assign an IP address.

Using factory default settings, the OkiLAN 6020e first
attempts to determine its IP address (flashing rapid
green) using DHCP, RARP, BOOTP or Gleaning. If the
OkiLAN 6020e has not resolved its IP address after 2
minutes, it defaults to 198.102.102.254. (This IP
address should be used only temporarily for
configuration purposes.)

To choose an IP address:

1. Select an IP address and hostname for the OkiLAN
6020e.

Example: 192.168.42.50 OkiLAN 6020e_name

2. Add the name and IP address to the “/etc/hosts” file
of each host that will access the OkiLAN 6020e. Or,
if your network uses a name service, add the host
name and IP address to the name server.

Most TCP/IP networks use the Network Information
Service (NIS), Domain Name Service (DNS) or the “/
etc/hosts” database. See your network documentation
for instructions.

Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e

Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e

There are four utilities available to configure the
OkiLAN 6020e for TCP/IP printing. You may use
whichever utility is best suited for your needs.

• OkiNet for TCP/IP - Windows TCP/IP print
manager utility. See Chapter 3 of this section for
more information.

• OkiLAN 6020e Configuration Utility - This utility is
accessed via telnet. See Chapter 6 of this section for
more information.

In order to configure the OkiLAN 6020e via telnet,
you must first assign an IP address to the OkiLAN
6020e and verify communication by pinging the
device.

• OkiNet for NetWare - This windows utility must be
run from a Novell NetWare client. See Section III of
this manual for specific information.

• OkiNet for VINES (VPMAN) Utility - This
Windows utility must be run from a Banyan VINES
client (may apply to other OkiLAN print server
models).

Assigning the IP Address

There are eight different methods for assigning an IP
address to the OkiLAN 6020e: Gleaning, Static Route
Entry, DHCP, RARP, BOOTP and using the OkiNet or
OkiNet for VINES utilities. Gleaning, Static Route
Entry and RARP require the OkiLAN 6020e and the
host to be on the same subnet. DHCP and BOOTP also
have this restriction unless the network routers are
configured to pass these requests. The OkiNet and
OkiNet for VINES utilities (may apply to other
OkiLAN print server models) do not have this
restriction.

IV - 8

OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide

Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e

Gleaning

If an IP address has not been permanently assigned
when the OkiLAN 6020e is powered on or reset, it will
look for a ping packet on the network. If the OkiLAN
6020e receives a ping packet within two minutes, it will
accept the IP address in the ping packet as its own
address.

To use Gleaning, you must have Windows 95/98,
Windows NT/2000, or super-user privileges on a UNIX
system.

1. Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP
address to the hardware address of the OkiLAN
6020e. To do this, use the arp command.

arp -s <ip_address><hardware_address> temp

UNIX Example:

arp -s 192.168.42.24 00:02:16:00:00:01 temp

Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000 Example:

arp -s 192.168.42.24 00-02-16-00-00-01

2. Start a continuous ping to the OkiLAN 6020e.

ping <ip_address>

Example: ping 192.168.42.24

On some systems, this may require an additional
parameter. Some implementations of ping only send
out one ping packet which could get lost in transit.
Check your system documentation for more
information.

3. Connect power to the OkiLAN 6020e.

The OkiLAN 6020e will glean its IP address from
the ping packet. This IP address will remain in effect
until the OkiLAN 6020e is powered off or reset.
Therefore, a permanent IP address should be
assigned by running the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility or
via telnet.

Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e

DHCP

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
provides a framework for passing configuration
information to hosts on a TCP/IP network in a client/
server fashion. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap
Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic
allocation of reusable network addresses and additional
configuration options. DHCP uses the same packet
structure as BOOTP so current BOOTP relay agents
will also interact with DHCP messages.

DHCP offers dynamic IP address allocation. When a
client receives an IP address, it also receives a lease (an
amount of time the host may use the address). The
lease times vary from 1 hour to 100 years, or may be
infinite. When the lease expires, the host must stop
using the address. DHCP may also be used like
BOOTP, with a certain IP address always assigned to a
certain device. Depending on the server, both methods
may be used at the same time.

If the OkiLAN 6020e does not find a DHCP server
after two minutes, it will timeout and assume a default
address of 198.102.102.254. This follows current
BOOTP and RARP behavior.

If the OkiLAN 6020e receives multiple responses, it
will choose the first one.

When the OkiLAN 6020e receives an address, it sends
an ARP message once every second for five seconds on
the offered address to determine if another device is
using it. If the OkiLAN 6020e finds another device is
using the address, it will refuse the address and start
looking for a new address.

OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide

Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e

Static Route Entry

When the OkiLAN 6020e is powered on or reset and
no permanent IP address has been assigned, it will
attempt to obtain an IP address through Gleaning,
RARP, BOOTP or DHCP. If the OkiLAN 6020e has not
determined its IP address after two minutes, the IP
address will default to 198.102.102.254. This IP
address should only be used temporarily to configure a
new, permanent IP address. To change to a permanent
IP address, the route add command is used to place the
OkiLAN 6020e product’s default IP address into the
workstation’s network routing table. To use the route
command, you must have Windows 95/98, Windows
NT/2000 or super-user privileges under UNIX. The
syntax for this command is:

route add 198.102.102.254 “IP address of the
workstation” 0

Note: The zero (0) placed at the end of the route add

command shown above is optional.

The Static Route method only works if the host from
which you are telneting is on the same subnet as the
OkiLAN 6020e. Once the route add command has been
issued, telnet will allow you to change and/or make the
IP address permanent. After changing the IP address to
its permanent address, the routing table entry should be
deleted using route delete.

For more information, consult your system
documentation for the route command.

RARP or BOOTP

If an IP address has not been permanently assigned, the
OkiLAN 6020e will use Reverse Address Resolution
Protocol (RARP) or Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). The
OkiLAN 6020e will broadcast requests for its IP
address to both RARP and BOOTP servers. A RARP or
BOOTP server will respond by searching a
configuration file that maps the Ethernet hardware
addresses of devices on the network to their respective
IP addresses. If a match is found, the server’s response
will include the IP address of the device.

OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide

IV - 11

TCP/IP

Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e

Most UNIX operating systems support either the RARP
or BOOTP protocol. To find out which protocol your
operating system supports, request the manual page for
the protocol’s daemon (e.g. man bootpd or man rarpd),
or see your network manuals. Both protocols require
that you add the product’s network hardware address
and IP address to a configuration file. See your network
documentation for instructions or refer to Appendix B,
Application Considerations.

Note: An IP address received from a RARP or

BOOTP server is not permanently programmed
into the OkiLAN 6020e. Therefore, if you
choose this method of assigning the IP address,
the RARP or BOOTP server must be available
every time the OkiLAN 6020e is powered on
or reset. The IP address can be stored
permanently using telnet, OkiNet for TCP/IP,
OkiNet for NetWare or the OkiNet for VINES
utility (may apply to other OkiLAN print server
models).

A Winsock compliant BOOTP server is located on the
OkiNet for TCP/IP diskette. This has been provided for
users who do not have UNIX machines.

Other Utilities

The IP address can also be set from Novell NetWare
using the OkiNet for NetWare utility or through the
Banyan VINES OkiNet for VINES utility (may apply
to other OkiLAN print server models).

Note: The OkiNet for NetWare and OkiNet for

VINES utilities can only be used if Novell
NetWare or Banyan VINES are installed on
your network respectively (may apply to other
OkiLAN print server models).

Verifying Access to the OkiLAN 6020e

Use the ping utility to verify access to the OkiLAN
6020e.

ping <IP address of OkiLAN 6020e>

If the OkiLAN 6020e does not respond, your network
or the device is not configured correctly.

• Verify the IP address, default gateway and subnet
mask are set to the proper values on the OkiLAN
6020e by printing a configuration sheet. This can be
done using either the print configuration sheet
button, through the OkiNet or OkiNet for VINES
utilities (may apply to other OkiLAN print server
models) or via telnet.

• If the settings appear to be correct, try repeating the
installation steps. If problems persist, call Oki Data

OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide

Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing

Configuring for TCP/IP Network
Printing

Most computers that support TCP/IP network printing
use the Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol.
This protocol was originally part of the Berkeley
Software Distribution (BSD) version of the UNIX
operating system. Remote LPD was quickly adopted as
a de facto standard. As a result, Remote LPD is now
supported by most versions of the UNIX operating
system and by many TCP/IP packages available for
other operating systems. Configuration of Remote LPD
printing varies among vendors who supply TCP/IP.

You may also use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for
printing. Typically FTP is used to transfer files between
computers on a TCP/IP network. The OkiLAN 6020e
simply prints the files it receives from FTP.

Remote Print Queue Name

The Remote Print Queue Name determines which
printer port will service the print job. The Remote Print
Queue Name may also be used to specify ASCII print
jobs. Both Remote LPD and FTP have provisions for
specifying a Remote Print Queue Name.

The OkiLAN 6020e looks at the last character of the
Remote Print Queue Name to determine which printer
port will service the print job. All Remote Print Queue
Names should end with the number 1, 2, 3 or 4. If a
number is not specified, the OkiLAN 6020e will use
printer port 1.

The OkiLAN 6020e is designed to handle many
different types of printers and print data. Typically you
will select the printer type for your printer in telnet
under the Configure Port option. However, if you are
connecting to an ASCII printer, you may wish to use
the OkiLAN 6020e to format the print data for your
printer.

TCP/IP

OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide

IV - 15

Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing

The OkiLAN 6020e will parse the remote queue name
and search for certain characters at the end which tell
how to convert an ASCII print job. The print server
uses FF, LF and NF as ASCII conversion specifiers and
uses the last number as an output port. The FF, LF and
NF specifiers must be the last letters in the queue name.

Example: LaserWriterFF, SalesColorLaserNF,
ChemDeptLF2

FF Use the FF suffix at the end of the Remote Print

Queue Name, before the port number.

Example: queueFF2

If the last character in the print job is not a form
feed, the OkiLAN 6020e appends a form feed.
This form feed prompts the printer to print any
partial page at the end of the job.

LF Use the LF suffix at the end of the Remote Print

Queue Name, before the port number.

Example: queueLF2

In addition to the form feed described above,
the OkiLAN 6020e inserts a carriage-return
character into the print job immediately before
each line-feed character. This feature is useful
for printing UNIX text files.

NF Use the NF suffix at the end of the Remote Print

Queue Name, before the port number.

Example: queueNF2

The OkiLAN 6020e inserts a carriage-return
character into the print job immediately before
each line-feed character. This feature is useful
for printing UNIX text files.

This option differs from LF in that form feed is
not added to the end of jobs.

IV - 16

OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide

Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing

Configuring a BSD-Style Print Queue

For remote BSD-Style LPD printing, add the OkiLAN
6020e as a remote printer in the “/etc/printcap”
database to each host printing to the OkiLAN 6020e.

You can add PRINTCAP options as needed. If you are
unfamiliar with PRINTCAP, consult your local
documentation.

The entry should be similar to the following:

local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_

manufacturer]:\:lp=:mx#0:rm=OkiLAN
6020e_name:\:rp=remote_print_queue_name:\
:sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just
log_file_name

local_print_queue_name

The local_print_queue_name defines the name of the
printcap entry. It is used by the lpr/lpd utilities to
specify which printcap entry is being referenced.
Additional printcap entries can be added as needed for
different queue types. Each entry must have a unique
local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory
to work properly. When you are ready to print, use the
local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of
the file to be printed.

OkiLAN 6020e_name

This is the name (alias) of the OkiLAN 6020e. This
must be the same name as entered in the /etc/hosts file
or your NIS or DNS system. An IP address may also be
used here.

remote_print_queue_name

The remote_print_queue_name entry determines the
OkiLAN 6020e port where the print job will be printed
and optionally specifies ASCII printing.

path_to_spool_directory

This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will
be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique
spool directory for each printcap entry.

OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide

IV - 17

TCP/IP

Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing

log_file_name

This is the path to a file where error information from
the lpd will be logged.

Example: If you are printing to an ASCII printer that
requires a carriage return/line feed, you may need two
separate printcap entries: one entry for print jobs which
terminate lines with a carriage return/line feed, and
another entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a
line feed only. Your printcap entries might look like the
following:

ascii_files|form.feed.Queue_on_Port_2:\

:lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUEFF2:\
:sd=/usr/spool/myqueueff2:\
:lf=/usr/spool/myqueueff2/queue.log

asciilf_files|line.feed.Queue_on_Port_2:\

:lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF2:\
:sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2:\
:lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2/queue.log

Note: Each printcap entry must have a different spool

directory to work properly.

Remote LPD Printing

The way print jobs are queued to a Remote LPD system
varies among the vendors that support TCP/IP. UNIX
systems that are BSD-based typically use the lpr
program to submit print jobs. Other UNIX systems may
use the lp program to submit print jobs. PC-based TCP/
IP packages often provide a command line lpr program
and a utility to redirect the output of an LPT port to a
Remote LPD system.

Consult your system administrator or software vendor
for assistance troubleshooting LPD.
