For example, my machine??™s name is Main and I configured
a LaserJet printer connection on it using the techniques described earlier in this section.
Typing
LPQ -SMain -PLJ5
at the command prompt provides the display shown in Figure 12.1.
TIP
There??™s nothing odd or strange about using an LPD server on Windows. Any printer you configure
this way still provides the same management window as any other printer you connect to
your machine or access from the network. You can use this GUI display to manage the print jobs
in the queue. These features include all of the standard Windows features, such as changing job
priority, pausing a job, or canceling all jobs. The only difference is the server used to service the
print queue.
Figure 12.1
The LPQ utility tells
you about the status
of a selected printer
queue on your
machine.
Sending a Print Job to a Printer with the LPR Utility
The Line Printer Request (LPR) utility sends a print job to the printer. When working at the command
line, you??™ll normally send text files, but the LPR utility can also accommodate binary files and
PostScript. You may also use the LPR Port Monitor instead of this utility to obtain the latest support.
