4 PRINTING FROM UNIX/Linux

Printing From Application

This section describes how to print from a UNIX/Linux workstation.

 When the User Management setting is enabled, a print job sent from UNIX/Linux workstations is processed as an

invalid job according to the User Authentication Enforcement setting. For more information about the User

Authentication Enforcement setting, refer to the TopAccess Guide.

 Before attempting to print from a UNIX/Linux workstation, make sure all the UNIX/Linux Filters are installed in your

workstation.

For instructions on how to install or set CUPS, refer to the Software Installation Guide.

 Considerations and limitations

 This equipment acts only as a filter and not as a complete driver. The size and order of the printed pages cannot be

modified.

 The UNIX/Linux filters do not support the following engine-supplied features:

- Enlarge/Reduce printing

- N-up printing

- Watermarks

- Cover Sheets

- Sheet Insertion

- Scheduled Print

- Print to Overlay File

- Store to e-Filing

- Use Overlay Image

 Linux uses the lptap command to send a file to this equipment.

Since lp is not supported in all versions of Linux, the lptap command should be used instead.

 AIX supports printing using the qdaemon. This can be invoked by the user with the commands lp, lpr or qprt. In order

to use the filter, either lp or qprt should be used.

 Printing using lp command

Use the lp command (lptap in Linux) to send a file to this equipment for printing. This command specifies various printer-

specific options using the -o option parameter on the command line. The lp command also sets other print options using

various other parameters. Use the "man net_estcolor" command to display the online document that describes the various

options and parameters that can be set to configure printed output.

All the options are sent to this equipment at the start of a print job so, if the print file contains its own commands, they may

override the lp options.
