Usage Guidelines
- For AIX actual destinations:
- InfoPrint Manager uses the value as the command that the AIX actual destination executes
for each document printed. It should include the full path name for the backend program
you are using for your printer device.
With the wait-for-job-completion actual destination attribute, you can use pioinfo, piorpdm, and pioipps backends that can provide job status and accounting information.
Examples:
- destination-command=/usr/lpd/pio/etc/pioinfo ip_address , where ip_address is the ip address of the printer.
- destination-command=/usr/lpd/pio/etc/pioipps ipp_uri, where ipp_uri is the IPP printer’s URI, e.g. https://ricohprinter.yourcompany.com:443/ipp/print.
See wait-for-job-completion for more information.
- If the printer backend program is a variation of, or front end to, rembak, specify true on the remote-queue actual destination attribute. Examples of rembak–based backend programs include piorflb and piocolor.
For more information about rembak, see remote-queue.
- If the destination-command attribute is set to pioinfo backend, InfoPrint Manager disables the auxiliary pages if it detects a Print and Hold job request.
- InfoPrint Manager uses the value as the command that the AIX actual destination executes
for each document printed. It should include the full path name for the backend program
you are using for your printer device.
- For CUPS actual destinations:
- InfoPrint Manager uses the value as the device-uri (backend connection) that the associated CUPS printer runs for each job in order to send the data to the printing device.
- CUPS-provided backend programs can be used for printing.
Examples:
- destination-command=ipps://ip_address:443/ipp/print
- destination-command=socket://ip_address
- With the addition of the wait-for-job-completion actual destination attribute, the pioinfo or piorpdm CUPS backend programs can be used for printing.
Examples:
- destination-command=pioinfo://ip_address
- destination-command=piorpdm://ip_address
- For PSF other-driver or command actual destinations:
- InfoPrint Manager uses the command string to invoke the printer backend program for other-driver attached actual destinations.
- InfoPrint Manager uses the value as the command string to print a job on the command-attached printer and to send the job to the correct remote queue.
- With the PSF DSS for AIX or LINUX:
- If you do not specify this attribute for command-attached actual destinations, InfoPrint Manager fills in the value of XXX (shown under Default Value) with the value of the print-queue-name attribute.
- With a PSF other-driver attached printer, destination-command is supported for an AIX server; however, it is not supported for a Windows server.
- With a PSF other-driver attached printer for InfoPrint Manager for AIX, you can use the same backend program as for AIX actual destinations.
- With a PSF other-driver attached printer for InfoPrint Manager for Linux, you can use the same backend connection as for CUPS actual destinations.
- With PSF DSS for AIX, if the destination-command attribute is set to pioinfo backend, InfoPrint Manager disables the auxiliary pages if it detects a Print and Hold job request.
- For BSD actual destinations, you can use the attribute-map actual destination attribute to map InfoPrint Managerattributes to command flags appropriate for your destination command. The attribute-map defaults apply to remback (on AIX), lpr (on Windows), or InfoPrint Manager LPR (on Linux ).
- The resource path
/ipp/printis commonly used by most of the IPP Printers to define an IPP print service. Still, consult your printer documentation or the Printer's Bonjour (DNS-SD) registration information to determine the proper host name, port number, and path to use for your Printer. You can also use the CUPS ipptool to retrieve printer IPP attributes. See the "Using the CUPS ipptool command" topic in RICOH InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Getting Started for more information.
