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 MPS 

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

2.

The MPS cannot print multiple copies of the print job when using the Ò-#nÓ lpr 

option.

3.

If two print queues on the host refer to two services on the same MPS, they must 

use separate spooling directories. 

4.

No special purpose input or output Þlters can be used when printing via LPR. If 

this functionality is necessary, use the named pipe interface program in the RTEL 

print queue conÞguration software.
