directly edit the filter file generated under /etc/lp/interfaces.

Either of these options disables banner print function.

Example: Using an editor e.g. vi, open the file shown below. Change “nobanner=no” to

“nobanner=yes”.

# lpstat -p pboxlp

-Depending on the UNIX specification, the command will fail to correctly display the printer status.

[Limits]

When running PRICOM with Solaris 2.x, following limits occurs due to Solaris specifications.

1) If, after starting printing, the printer becomes off line and cannot receive data for quite a while,

timeout occurs on the Solaris side and when the printing continues (re-connection).the first

page will be sent again.

2) When the printer status is displayed in the form “lpstat -p<printer name>”, optional character

string returned to show the status (e.g. PrinterReady) cannot be interpreted by the Solaris. As a

result, “Faulted” is displayed followed by unintentional characters.

3) When a print-related command is sent to PRICOM while the Solaris is sending data from the

same machine, the command cannot function as it should. This is because Solaris cannot

output another packet until it finishes the transmission of the current data. Thus, “system not

responding” will be displayed in response to “lpstat -p <printer name>.

4) Certain commands such as lpstat following cancel command will result in error. In such case,

printer scheduler daemon may not be running, so verify using “lpstat -r”. If “scheduler is not

running” is displayed, reboot the printer scheduler daemon by typing in as below.

/bin/sh /etc/init.d/lp start

5) Even if “cancel” is used to delete a job that does not exist, no error occurs with Solaris.

This section explains how to print using FTP of TCP/IP.

For further information on “ftp” command, refer to your workstation manual.

About FTP

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used to transfer a file by TCP/IP. By transferring data to

PRICOM logical directory, printing can be executed.

Logical directory

PRICOM is provided with 3 logical directories for correct printing and should be transferred by [cd]

command.

To print a file using a printer driver, go to “lp” directory; to print a text file,

<PRICOM logical directory structure>

Root

lp Directly output

NOTE

Printing Using FTP

5-27Using PRICOM in UNIX/Linux Environment

Users Manual SX

1. Log in to PRICOM.

-When printing using “ftp” command, any input to “User” and “Password” will not disturb printing job

unless “root” is used in “User”. When the “User” name is “root”, type the password configured in

environment settings.

Example: To log in to a printer whose host name is “pbox”

(or to log in to a printer having IP address “192.168.10.100”).

#ftp pbox (or ftp 192.168.10.100 )

2. Using “cd” command to move to destination directory.

-PRICOM has hierarchical structure for destination directory. Print data to the root directory is

processed as output to “lp”.

Example: To move to lp directory and verify the current directory.

ftp>cd /lp

250 Command Ok.

ftp>pwd

257 "/lp" is current directory.

3. Changing transfer mode.

-There are two kinds for transfer mode. One is “ASCII” mode converts LF code to CR+LF code, the

other is “BINARY” mode transfers file contents. To transfer binary-converted file from the printer

driver, configure the transfer mode to “BINARY” (otherwise, ASCII mode is used).

Example: To change transfer mode to BINARY and verify the current mode.

ftp>type binary

200 Type set to I.

ftp>type

Using binary mode to transfer files.

4. Transfer the print data to PRICOM using “put” command in file form.

There are two formats for transferring a file using “put” command.

Example: To transfer print data “test.prn”.

ftp>put test.prn

To transfer print data to the directory specified by “/users/test/test.prn”.

ftp>put /users/test/test.prn /lp

-When printing data by specifying the directory, specify the destination logical directory.

Not necessary to move directory using the cd command.

5. Use “quit” command to log out from PRICOM.

ftp>quit

-By using “stat” of "quote" command, IP address, use name for log in and transfer mode can be

verified.

-By specifying the directory (lp) following “stat”, the printer status can be checked.

Example: To display the Ethernet board status.

ftp>quote stat
