4.2 Notes About LPR

There are four important things to note about the LPR printing method:

1.

Because of the way the LPR protocol is typically implemented on the host, the processing 

options and banner page are sent after the job data itself. The EPS will print a banner 

page at the end of a job, and cannot support most of the LPR options. If it is necessary 

to have the banner page at the beginning of the printout, install and use the RTEL soft-

ware. If banners are not needed, they can be disabled.

2.

The EPS cannot print multiple copies of the print job when using the -#n lpr option.

3.

If two print queues on the host refer to two services on the same EPS, they must use sepa-

rate spooling directories. 

4.

No special purpose input or output filters can be used when printing via LPR. If this func-

tionality is necessary, use the named pipe interface program in the RTEL print queue con-

figuration software.
