necessary parameters are passed as variables to the LPR command. The
system does run the LPD spooling daemon.
1. Set up TCP support on the XL as usual. Set up an IP address for
each of the individual ports that will be used.
2. In the :ETC:HOSTS file on the DG system, set up an entry for eaxch
port to be used. In the example below, the printer name is defined
as 'acct_lj4":
123.456.789.123 acct_lj4 ACCT_LJ4
3. The format of the LPR command is:
LPR -S<hostname> -P<queue> filename
where
hostname name in the :ETC:HOSTS file corresponding to the IP
address assigned to the port on the XL.
queue use PASSTHRU for postscript printing, use TEXT
