HP Jetdirect Print Servers - Administrator Guide

ENWW Configuring for LPD Printing 170
Verifying the Configuration
From within Windows NT, print a file from any application. If the
file prints correctly, the configuration was successful.
If the print job is not successful, try printing directly from DOS
using the following syntax:
lpr -S<ipaddress> -P<queuename> filename
where ipaddress is the IP address of the print server, queuename
is the name “raw” or “text” and filename is the file you wish to
print. If the file prints correctly, the configuration was successful.
If the file does not print, or prints incorrectly, see Chapter 8
.
Printing from Windows Clients
If the LPD printer on the NT/2000 server is shared, Windows clients
can connect to the printer on the NT/2000 server using the Windows
Add Printer utility in the Printers folder.
