TOPIC

    This article contains a correction to the LaserWriter 16/600 PS Setting Up, Connecting, and Using Your Printer manual.


DISCUSSION

    In Chapter 4 "Setting Up the Printer for UNIX Users", on page 129 the manual states:

    12) Test printing with the following command:
    .   lp -d printer_IP_name   filename

    This is incorrect. In order to print properly, you need to use the following:

    lp -d print_queue_name   filename

    In other sections of the manual, it states to use lpr -P printer_IP_name. This is also incorrect, you need to use

    lpr -P print_queue_name

    For "lpr", the "print_queue_name" is the entry name in the "printcap" file.

    For "lp", the "print_queue_name" is generated by the underlying UNIX printer spooler facility.
