Appendix Printing Files Directly from Windows You can print files directly using Windows commands. For example, you can print postscript files for PostScript3. Commands that can be used are as follows. Operating system Windows 95/98/Me Windows 2000/XP, Windows Server 2003 Windows NT 4. 0 lpr rcp ftp The following explains setup and printing. Setup A Make settings for the printer's network environment. · Enable the TCP/IP protocol (the default is enabled). · Set TCP/IP-related items, including the IP address. Reference p. 11 "Interface Settings/Network". p. 100 "Using DHCP", when setting the IP address of the printer using DHCP. B Install the TCP/IP protocol in Windows to set the network environment. Note Make sure network settings are checked by a network administrator. C When printing with Windows 2000/XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4. 0, install "Printing service for UNIX" as the network software. When printing with Windows NT 4. 0, install "Microsoft TCP/IP printing" as the network software. Note When using Windows 95/98/Me, lpr cannot be used to print. This completes the setup for specifying a printer using an IP address when printing. When using a host name to specify a printer, proceed to p. 64 "Using a Host Name Instead of an IP Address" and continue the setup. 63 Appendix Using a Host Name Instead of an IP Address When using DNS Use the host name set for the data file on the DNS server. When setting the IP address of a printer using DHCP Use the "Printer name" on the Configuration Page as the host name. For more information about printing a configuration page, see "List/Test Print", Printer Reference. In other cases Add the IP address and host name of the network printer to the hosts file on the computer used for printing. Methods of addition vary according to the operating system. Windows 95/98/Me A Copy to the same \WINDOWS\HOSTS. SAM directory and name it "HOSTS" (no extension required). B Open the \WINDOWS\HOSTS file you created using Memo Pad or other applications. C Add an IP address and a host name to the hosts file in the following format: 9 192. 168. 15. 16 host # NP "192. 168. 15. 16" is the IP address, "host" is the printer's host name, and "#" to the end are comments. Separate each item with a space or tab, and use only one line. D Save the file. Windows 2000/XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows NT 4. 0 A Open the hosts file using Memo Pad or other applications. The hosts file is in the following folder: \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS \WINNT is the directory of the installation destination for Windows 2000/XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows NT 4. 0. 64 Printing Files Directly from Windows B Add an IP address and a host name to the hosts file in the following format: 192. 168. 15. 16 host # NP "192. 168. 15. 16" is the IP address, "host" is the printer's host name, and "#" to the end are comments. Separate each item with a space or tab, and use only one line. C Save the file. Printing Method The following explains printing using the "lpr", "rcp", and "ftp" commands. Preparation Enter commands using the commands prompt window. The location of the commands prompt in each operating system is as follows: · Windows 95/98 [Start]-[Programs]-[MS-DOS Prompt] · Windows Me [Start]-[Programs]-[Accessories]-[MS-DOS Prompt] · Windows 2000 [Start]-[Programs]-[Accessories]-[Command Prompt] · Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 [Start]-[All Programs]-[Accessories]-[Command Prompt] · Windows NT 4. 0 [Start]-[Programs]-[Command Prompt] Note If the "print requests full" message appears, no more print requests can be accepted. Try printing again when the number of sessions has dropped below the value shown in the following table below. rcp ftp 5 3 9 Enter the file name in a format including the path from the directory executing the commands. 65 Appendix lpr When specifying a printer by IP address c:> lpr -Sprinter's IP address [-Poption] [ol] \pass name\file name When using a host name instead of an IP address c:> lpr -Sprinter's host name [-Poption] [ol] \pass name\file name Note When printing a binary file, add the "-ol" option (lowercase o, and lowercase l). When using a printer with the host name "host", to print a PostScript file named "file1" located in the C:\PRINT directory, the command line is as follows: c:> lpr -Shost -Pfiletype=PS3 -ol C:\PRINT\file1 rcp Register the printer's host name in the hosts file beforehand. See p. 64 "Using a Host Name Instead of an IP Address". c:> rcp [-b] \pass name\file name [pass name\file name. . . ] printer's host name:[option] Note In the file names, "*" and "?" can be used as wild cards. 9 When printing a binary file, add the "-b" option. When using a printer with the host name "host", to print a PostScript file named "file1" or "file2" located in the C:\PRINT directory, the command line is as follows. c:> rcp -b \PRINT\file1 \PRINT\file2 host:filetype=RPS 66 Printing Files Directly from Windows ftp Use the "put" or "mput" command according to the number of files to be printed. When the number of files to be printed is one ftp> put \pass name\file name [option] When the number of files to be printed is two or more ftp> put \pass name\file name [\pass name\file name. . . ] [option] Note For the mput command, "*" and "?" can be used as wild cards in the file name. If these symbols are used, the file name will be read as an option string. [. . . ] If you want to change form feed settings, always configure them using Windows. · Under Windows 95/98/Me, clear the [Form feed] check box on the [Printer Settings] tab in the [Printer Properties] dialog box. · Under Windows 2000/XP, clear the [Form feed] check box on the [NetWare Settings] tab in the [Printer Properties] dialog box. · Under Windows NT 4. 0, clear the [Form feed] check box on the [NetWare Settings] tab in the [Printer Properties] dialog box. 118 Precautions Banner page You should not configure a banner page on NetWare.
