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.
