Printing from UNIX Workstations
You can print to the KX-P8420 directly from UNIX. Jobs printed to the 
KX-P8420 are sent to the Print queue and can be manipulated from 
Macintosh and PC computers on the network by using WebSpooler.
The queue name and printer name are established by your system 
administrator. In general, the queue name should be appended to the name 
of the printer, for example, KX-P8420_print.
For information on setting up the printer for TCP/IP printing, see Chapter 3 
of the 
Setup Manual or Operating Instructions.
Printing to the KX-P8420
You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript files and text files. In 
general, the basic printing commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) can be used to send 
print jobs to the KX-P8420. See your UNIX manual pages or other 
documentation for information about UNIX commands.
The KX-P8420 queue name referred to in the following procedures is the 
name defined in the 
printcap
 file by your system administrator.
NOTE:
Only PostScript or text files can be printed from UNIX. 
To print from UNIX:
