Konica Minolta CF9001 [45/126] Chapter 3 printing from unix workstations

3-1 Printing to the Fiery X3e

You can print to the Fiery X3e directly from UNIX workstations. Jobs printed to the

Fiery X3e are sent to the Print or Hold queue and can be manipulated from Command

WorkStation or from Windows and Mac OS computers on the network using

Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler.

NOTE: If you print to the Hold queue, an operator must intervene from Command

WorkStation, Fiery Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler for the job to print; jobs sent to the

Hold queue are spooled to disk and held.

The queue name and Fiery X3e printer name are determined by your system

administrator. Contact your system administrator for the names of your queues.

For information about setting up printing from TCP/IP, see your UNIX system

documentation.

Printing to the Fiery X3e

You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript and text ﬁles to the Fiery X3e. In

general, use basic print commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) to send print jobs to the Fiery X3e.

For information about UNIX commands, see your UNIX manual pages or other

documentation.

NOTE: Only PostScript or text ﬁles can be printed from UNIX.

TO PRINT FROM UNIX

• On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lpr command

to send a job to the Fiery X3e as follows:

lpr <-Pprinter> <-#copies><filename>

For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery X3e is named print_Server, your ﬁle is

named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:

lpr -Pprint_Server -#2 Sample
