SUMMARY

The NetQue and NetJet cards from Emulex Network Technology support the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) print server for the Windows NT Line Printer Remote (LPR) Print Monitor. The default printer name of the NetQue and NetJex card is either TEXT, for ASCII files, or PASSTHRU, for formatted text. These names are case sensitive.

MORE INFORMATION

The LPR port monitor enables Windows NT to print through TCP/IP to printers with built-in network cards that support TCP/IP network and LPD print server. When you install the LPR port monitor, you will be asked to specify the IP address of the LPD print server and printer name (or print queue name) on that LPD.

When the NetQue or NetJet card is used, you should type: 

   - The IP address of the card in the "Name or address of server providing
     lpr" field

   - PASSTHRU for formatted text (PCL, POSTSCRIPT) and TEXT for ASCII files
     in the "Name of printer or print queue on that server" field. PASSTHRU
     works for most cases.

     NOTE: These names must typed in capital letters, regardless of how
     they appear on screen.
If you specify a printer name other than PASSTHRU or TEXT, printing to the printer will fail and the following application event will appear in Event Viewer: 

  Event ID: 2004
  Description: Printer on <printer name> is rejecting your request.
               Will retry until it accepts the request or the job
               is canceled by the user.
