I have installed the jetdirect software and printer a test page from the diagnostics menu, but I do not know how to print files normally from the command line. Please can someone help me or show me where i can get further information on this.

Regards

Hi,

Look in: man lp

Here you will find all the options you could use to print a file form command line.

Keith,

In it's simplest form

lp -d name-of-file-you-want-to-print

For diagnostics I have used the hpnpf and hpnpadmin commands. hpnpf will print to a network printer and hpnpadmin lets you query network printers. The printer doesn't have to be added to the lp spooler.Check out the man pages.

Once the printer is configured in the lp spooler you will see hpnpf messages in the /var/adm/lp/log file as the drivers loaded with the jetdirect software use hpnpf.
