Sending other types of jobs to a printer that uses RICOH TotalFlow Print server
To send other types of jobs, such as PostScript, to a printer that uses RICOH TotalFlow Print server, you can either copy the jobs to a printer hot folder or use an LPR command.
Before you can print to this printer, open the required ports in your firewall. Depending on your configuration, you might need these ports:
Ports to open for Passthrough printers
| Port | Used by (Client) | Used for (Purpose) |
|---|---|---|
| 515 | RICOH ProcessDirector primary and secondary server | Receiving jobs from RICOH ProcessDirector using LPR. |
- Click the Administration tab.
- In the left pane, click Devices → Printers.
- Click Add → Passthrough Printer.
- On the General tab, fill in values for all the required fields.
- To copy the job to a printer hot folder, update the Printer command property with a command that copies the print file to the correct location on the printer that uses RICOH TotalFlow Print server.
- To send the job using an LPR command, update the Printer command property with the appropriate command. For example, you could use a command such
as:
- lpr -P virtualprt1 ${getFileName(print,ps,read)}
- Continue with the procedure for Configuring media for a Ricoh TotalFlow printer.
