Configuring LPR Printers

UNIX, Macintosh, and other LPR clients can print to iPrint printers using LPR.

IMPORTANT:  In order for LPR to work, the printer agent name cannot contain spaces. If it does, you will need to rename the printer agent or select a different printer.

  1. In Novell iManager, click iPrint Management > Manage Printer.

  2. Browse to and select the printer you want to enable LPR printing for.

  3. Click Client Support > LPR Support.

  4. Check the Enable LPR/LPD Client Support check box.

    The LPR Host and LPR Printer/Queue fields display information required when setting up printing for Macintosh, UNIX, or other LPR clients.

    LPR Host: The server name where the Print Services Manager is running.

    LPR Printer/Queue: The same as the printer agent's name. The printer agent name cannot have any spaces in its name; otherwise, LPR will not work properly.

  5. (Optional) Enable the following options:

    Filter All LF to CRLF and Append FF to Jobs: Checking this check box changes bytes in the LPR data stream of all incoming LPR print jobs from Line Feeds to Carriage Returns with Line Feeds and appends a Form Feed to the end of the print job. Typically, these changes are made at the LPR client; however, if you are sure of your users' configurations, you can implement this option.

    Address Ranges: Add an address range only if you want to restrict access to this printer to LPR clients within the address range. When the list is empty, all addresses are allowed to print (default).

  6. Click Apply or OK to update the printer settings.
