Printing Methods

15

You can also print using the “rsh”, “rcp” and “ftp” commands.

❒ Print using a format the printer supports.
❒ Try to print again when the number of requests is zero.
❒ The  “print session full” appears when the maximum number of print re-

quests is reached.

❒ The maximum number of print sessions varies depending on the command.

When using the “rsh” or “rcp” command, the maximum number of print ses-
sions is five; when using the “ftp” command, the number is three.

% rsh host_name print < file_name 

For example:
(host name: “nphost”; file name: “file1”)

% rsh nphost print < file1 

❒ “host_name” is the name entered when executing the installation shell script.
❒ If you are using HP-UX, use the “remsh” command instead of “rsh”.
