Tips for Telnet and rsh Printing
Here are some tips for handling Telnet and rsh printing:
• If line feed and carriage return problems occur, try supplying a set
line command that specifies onlcr=on. This converts carriage
returns to carriage return/line feeds.
• If you want tab characters (ASCII character 9) converted to 8
spaces, use a set line command that specifies otab=on.
Configuring a Port for Direct-Access Printing
Direct access printing allows Telnet users on the LAN to access a port and
to issue print commands directly to the printer. This section describes the
two ways users can access a printer directly and explains how to configure
the port to support each method.
Method 1: Specifying Port Numbers in the Telnet Command
This method allows users to issue Telnet commands that identify the
correct port by using TCP port numbers. Users identify the type of
connection and port number by specifying one of the following:
String Result
ascii_1 Prints to port 1 and translates CR to CR/LF.
ascii_8_f Prints to port 8, translates CR to CR/LF and prints a form feed at the
end of the job.
raw_1_d Prints to port 1 with no translation and appends a Ctrl-d to the end of
the print job.
