-o
option
Determines the type of the file. The default setting is a text file. The only standardized
option value is a 1, which indicates a binary or PostScript file. The presence of this option
doesn??™t mean that the printer can handle the file you send or that Windows won??™t strip control
characters. Make sure you read the Microsoft Knowledge Base articles on this topic, such as the
one found at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/124735/EN-US/
, before you create binary
print jobs.
-x
Enforces compatibility with SunOS4.1.x and prior version when working with a remote
printer (you can read more about SunOS4.1.x and its successor at
http://www.sun.com/
bigadmin/content/misc/solaris2faq.html
).
-d
Places this data file at the front of the print queue. The default is to place the data file at the
end of the queue.
Generally, you won??™t need to use all of the LPR options. For example, you can print a text file on
a Windows machine simply by specifying the server name, the print queue, and the name of the file
as shown here:
LPR -SMain -PLJ5 MyDir.TXT
NOTE
Once you establish an LPD server on your system, you can use the associated printer as you
would any other printer from Windows applications.
