Printing to the AIX Unix LPD server

Question:

Can INTELLIscribe be used to print from a Windows computer to a Unix computer running IBM AIX?

Answer:

Yes, INTELLIscribe can print to IBM running AIX. There are a few items to be addressed before this scenario works.

1. The INTELLIscribe host must be listed in /etc/hosts.lpd file.
2. A plus sign (+) must also be added to the /etc/hosts.lpd file at the end.
3. The virtual printer port must be configured correctly

Protocol Option	Selection
LPD Queue Name	<same as AIX queue name>
Relax Port Restr	no

Note: The "print format" parameter should be "postscript" if the printer supports it or "preformatted" if not.
