19.6. LPR settings
19.6.1. Printer LPR Queue Name
This parameter contains the name of the LPR queue name
used on the target printer at destination #. It will be ignored if
you choose Raw Socket as “Netw# Print Method.”
Use a logic for naming queues that fits well into your environ-
ment. The configuration page shows a default name
LPQ1 in
each of the four possible slots, and you need not change these
names, given that each network destination has a different
host name. The LPR queue name here has nothing whatso-
ever to do with the LPR queue name used on the input side.
19.6.2. LPR Count Byte (MB)
LPR is a spooling protocol, which normally requires a count
byte to indicate the size of the job to the LPD daemon.
Because the print server does not have the ability to spool the
job in order to verify the total length, it is necessary to specify a
“Receive Data File” byte count in MBytes for the LPR job. Valid
values are in the interval [0..2147], and 2147 is default.
In order to choose the correct value for the network destination
in question, you need to investigate how the LPD Daemon is
integrated on the printer which will be targeted at that destina-
tion.
According to the LPR/LPD RFC1179 a byte count of zero will
indicate an infinite size. This is for example accepted for the
LPD integration in Windows NT.
LPD Daemons not accepting a count byte of zero may accept
a byte count larger than the job (i.e. a client disconnect before
the byte count is reached). Defining a byte count value larger
than the largest expected LPR print job may therefore have the
same effect as a byte count of zero.
