To create this type of printer, use the Create Printer Wizard in the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI. (On the menu bar, click Printer → Create → BSD.)
Note: If BSD is not shown in the Printer → Create menu, use Printer → Add/Remove Menu Items to add it.
BSD printer worksheet provides the information as prompted by the wizard. For assistance, see the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI online help.
Note: When you use the lpr command with a BSD actual destination, the printer prints only single-document jobs. If you send a BSD actual destination a multiple-document job, only the last
document in the job prints.
If you did not enable the printer with the Create Printer Wizard, use the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI to enable it.
