Step 2. Set up print queues

Step 2. Set up print queues


Set up a print queue for each printer or printer personality (PCL or PostScript) you use on your system. Different queues are required for formatted and unformatted files. The following table lists the supported queue types and how the line HP Jetdirect printer daemon server processes each.

Supported queue types
raw, raw1, raw2, raw3
No processing. Treats the data in the queue as a print job already formatted in the PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2 and sends it to the printer without modification.
text, text1, text2, text3
Carriage return added. Treats data in the queue as unformatted or ASCII text, and adds a carriage return to each line before sending to the printer.
auto, auto1, auto2, auto3
Automatic. Uses auto-sensing to determine whether the print data is sent as raw or text.
binps, binps1, binps2, binps3
Binary PostScript. Instructs the PostScript interpreter that the print job is binary PostScript data.
<user-defined>
(Full-featured print servers only) Define pre and post-print data strings, which can include job control commands that are automatically added before or after the print job. You can set up print queues using Telnet or the embedded Web server.
