Printing a PCL file
In this example, you will submit a PCL file called PCLFile1 for printing on an InfoPrint printer
called molly-lp.
Configuration assumptions: This example assumes these tasks have been performed by your system support group:
- InfoPrint, including the pcl2afp transform, has been installed on the workstation on which the pcl2afp command is executed.
- The pcl2afpd daemon has been started on the workstation on which the pcl2afp command is executed.
- A 3825 printer device has been installed and defined to InfoPrint. A logical
printer called
molly-lproutes jobs to the physical printer representing that device.
Using the command line options: To print this example, enter this command on the command line:
pdpr -p molly-lp PCLFile1or on AIX
enq -P molly-lp PCLFile1
Using an attributes file with the pdpr command: To print this example, enter this command on the command line:
pdpr -X pclex1.X -p molly-lp PCLFile1where the attributes file named
pclex1.X contains these settings:
document-format=pcl- A data type of PCL.
