Verifying the Configuration

In Windows, print a file from any application. If the file prints correctly, the configuration was
successful.
If the print job is not successful, try printing directly from DOS using the following syntax:
lpr -S <ipaddress> -P<queuename> filename
where ipaddress is the IP address of the print server, queuename is the name "raw" or "text" and
filename is the file you wish to print. If the file prints correctly, the configuration was successful. If
the file does not print, or prints incorrectly, see

Printing from Windows Clients

If the LPD printer on the Windows server is shared, Windows clients can connect to the printer on the
Windows server using the Windows Add Printer utility in the Printers folder.

NOTE
Some client applications may not support the direct entry of an IPv6 address.
However, support through the use of name resolution may be available provided the
appropriate IPv6 records are configured in DNS. If name resolution is supported, you
can enter the print server's host name or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) on
these applications.
(V.31.xx)).
The HP Jetdirect print server treats text files as unformatted text or ASCII files.
