Transmission with LPD Server

Printing data can be transmitted to the printer using the LPR/LPD (Line Printer

Daemon) protocol (“BSD Spooler”).

This protocol is supported by

• all Unix derivatives

• Windows NT, Windows 2000 und Windows XP

¯ The print queue of the host must be named „lp“!

Example 1. Set parameter INTERF.PARAM. > EASYPLUGINTERPR > Interface to „LPD serv-

er“.

2. Send the printjob file (here: „test.txt“) as illustrated using the „lpr“ command

[8].

[8] Sending a printjob with the „lpr“ command.

¯ Enter „lpr ?“ to get a list of the admissible command options.

¯ For the use of LPD server under Windows NT or Windows 2000, please

refer to the following link:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;179156

¯ For the use of LPD server under Windows 95 and Windows 98, a soft-

ware package from external providers is required (e.g. Windows LPR

Spooler, see the following link).

Troubleshooting

The following should be checked if a problem occurs:

• Ethernet connection: The yellow LED belonging to the printer network

socket must be illuminated. If this is not the case, possible sources of error

are:

– that the network is not connected to the outlet.

– ISDN outlet: Erroneous, the network cable was connected to an ISDN

instead of a network outlet. Both outlet types do not differ mechanically.

– an incorrect cable (ISDN cable?) is used to connect the printer to the

network outlet.

– a defective hub/switch.

– a defective printer board.

• IP parameter: The defined parameters or parameters set via DHCP are

displayed in the “Printer Status” printout. A “ping” to the set IP address

must return an echo. This also works if a different interface is set in the

Easy Plug Interpreter parameter. Possible source of error: Incorrect con-

figuration of a network participant.
