These remote print jobs can be sent from a UNIX system, a Linux system or a Windows system to InfoPrint Manager for AIX, InfoPrint Manager for Windows, InfoPrint Manager for Linux or Ricoh ProcessDirector. The -o flags that are interpreted by InfoPrint Manager and Ricoh ProcessDirector can be sent with the remote print job. On UNIX and Linux systems, this sample code allows you to submit a job using a shell script we provide called LPR. If you invoke LPR with the -A flag, the "lprafp" program we provide is used. The lprafp program allows you to pass -o parameters to InfoPrint. If you invoke LPR without the -A flag, your standard print command will be used. On Windows systems, lprafp is invoked directly. This package includes both source code and compiled executables for the AIX, Windows and Linux for 32 and 64 bit platforms. You can either use the executables for these platforms as it is or you can modify the source code as necessary and compile it yourself. If you want to use the client on a different platform, you must compile the source yourself.

If you type "LPR -?" at an AIX command prompt, the system print command is invoked and its usage statement is displayed. Usage: lprafp [-n] [-o
