Learning about the printer drivers
Using the printer drivers with UNIX and Linux
The printer drivers for UNIX and Linux systems provide many features that help ease the task of the system administrator and that help users be more productive.
Print queue and device wizardsAdministrators can use wizards to help set up virtual devices and print queues. Network printer searchThe search function makes it easier to find printers in an IP Subnet or Range. Print subsystem integrationPrinter drivers integrate with the native Print subsystem to work with existing
print queues and software.
Frequently used optionsSystem administrators can create queues with the most frequently used options as
the default, such as duplex or no banner page, so users do not need to specify those options.
Printer options supportUsers have the ability to access several printer-specific options such as multiple-page
printing, print and hold, duplex, or paper size.
Job submission graphical interfaceUsers can use the command lexlp in place of lp to access a graphic
interface to override per-queue options at print time.
Job command line optionsUsers can override per-queue defaults by specifying options on the lp or lpr

command line.

Individual user settingsUsers can save their own print queue settings to their home account. Bypass the native Print subsystemUsers can bypass the native Print subsystem and send data directly to the
printer by using the transport utilities.
Printer groups (My Printers)Users have the ability to group print queues. Printer classesSystem administrators have the ability to manage the standard printer classes from a graphical

interface.

Enhanced securityUsers with a designated UNIX group ID can set up queues.
Installing the printer drivers
Before installing the printer drivers
1 Make sure you are logged on with root user authority. 2 Make sure you have enough disk space available for a complete installation.
For more information, see System requirements on page 9 and Finding space to install the printer drivers package on page 13.
3 Set up an administrative user group.
During installation, you are asked if you want to change the administrative user group for printer drivers. The default administrative group on all systems except AIX is bin. The default administrative group on AIX is printq. If you have an administrative group on your host, you might want to use that group as the printer driver administrative group. Non-administrative users cannot add or remove print queues. For more information, see Changing an administrative group name on page 16. Note: If you are using print clients and print servers on Solaris, install the printer drivers on the print server to access the printer driver management features.

# /usr/local/lexmark/setup.lexprint Note: Your specific printer driver may not be included in the standard package. Check the Software and Documentation CD or the Lexmark Web site to determine if there are any software plug-ins available. For more information, see Plugin Manager utility (software updates) on page 31.
Installing on Linspire, Debian, or Ubuntu Linux
1 Read Before installing the printer drivers on page 8. 2 Make sure you have enough hard disk drive space in /usr/local to install the printer driver.
3 Download the printer drivers package (print-drivers-linux-glibc2-x86.deb) from the Lexmark Web site at
4 Install the package file.
# dpkg -i /tmp/print-drivers-linux-glibc2-x86.deb
Installing on Sun Solaris SPARC
1 Read Before installing the printer drivers on page 8. 2 Set the NONABI_SCRIPTS environment variable to TRUE. 3 Make sure you set the OPENWINHOME environment variable by typing the following on the command line:
# env | grep OPENWINHOME If you do not get a response, you must set the OPENWINHOME environment variable to the openwin directory.
4 Install the package file. a Download the Lexmark printer drivers package (print-drivers-solaris8-10-sparc.pkg.gz) from the Lexmark Web
site at http://www.lexmark.com/drivers.
b Save the downloaded package in the /tmp directory, and then uncompress the package file.
# gunzip /tmp/print-drivers-solaris8-10-sparc.pkg.gz
c Start the package installation program.
# pkgadd -d /tmp/print-drivers-solaris8-10-sparc.pkg
5 A list of available packages appears. To install all the packages, type all, and then press Enter. To install individual packages, type each package number separated by a comma, and then press Enter.
Note: You must install all the packages in the same location.
6 Follow the prompts and answer any questions that appear on the screen. To accept the defaults, press Enter. To answer yes/no questions, type y, n, or ?, and then press Enter. When a message appears telling you the installation was successful, type q to quit.
Note: Your specific printer driver may not be included in the standard package. Check your Software and Documentation CD or the Lexmark Web site to determine if there are any software plugins available. For more information, see Plugin Manager utility (software updates) on page 31.
Installing on Sun Solaris x86
4 Install the package file. a Download the Lexmark printer driver package (print-drivers-solaris10-x86.pkg.gz) from the Lexmark Web site
at http://www.lexmark.com/drivers.
# gunzip /tmp/print-drivers-solaris10-x86.pkg.gz
# pkgadd -d /tmp/print-drivers-solaris10-x86.pkg
Finding space to install the printer drivers package
Some operating systems require you to install printer drivers in a particular directory. If the file system containing the directory is full, you can create a symbolic link that points to the real directory in another file system which has more file space. The operating system treats the symbolic link as a real directory, but the files are actually installed on another drive.

1 Create a directory where you want the packages to actually be installed.
For example, to install in the /disk2 file system, type: # mkdir /disk2/lexmark
2 Create a symbolic link that points to the directory you just created from the directory where the operating system
requires the files. For example, if the operating system requires the files to be in /opt/lexmark, type: # ln -s /disk2/lexmark /opt/lexmark
3 Continue with the installation of printer drivers in the folder /disk2/lexmark.
Removing the printer drivers package
A system administrator can remove the printer drivers package using the utilities in the table below. Depending on your operating system, mark the printer drivers package for removal after you start the program. You can also type the names of the printer drivers package you want to remove from the command line. For more information, see the documentation that came with your operating system. Operating system HP-UX IBM AIX RedHat Linux SuSe Linux Linspire Linux Debian GNU/Linux Sun Solaris Package removal tool sam smit rpm -e

dpkg -r

1 If you are using Sun Solaris, HP-UX, or an IBM AIX system, remove the menu links by running the following utilities
and selecting Remove before uninstalling the package. # /usr/lexprint/bin/cde_menu_utility.sh
2 If you are using Sun Solaris, run the uninstall script to remove symbolic links created during installation.
Note: You must unlink the files before uninstalling the package. # /opt/lexmark/LEXPrtDrv.unlink
Removing remaining directories
Package removal utilities usually do not remove directories shared by more than one package. After you remove all of the printer drivers packages, you may need to remove some directories manually. To see if any directories remain after removing all the packages, check the directory where you installed the printer drivers. By default, the printer drivers are installed in either of the following locations:

Solaris

/opt/lexmark/unix_prt_drivers /var/spool/lexmark/unix_prt_drivers

HP-UX

/opt/lexmark/unix_prt_drivers /usr/spool/lp/lexmark/unix_prt_drivers

Linux

/usr/local/lexmark/unix_prt_drivers /var/spool/lexmark/unix_prt_drivers
/usr/lpp/lexprint /var/spool/lexmark/unix_prt_drivers Note: Other software may be located in the /opt/lexmark, /usr/local/lexmark, /usr/spool/lp/lexmark, or /var/spool/lexmark directories. If there is additional software residing in these locations, do not delete the directory.

For more information about adding devices, see Creating virtual devices on page 17.
3 Click Next. 4 Enter the printer name and description. 5 Select the printer type. 6 Click Next. 7 Select the printer languages the queue will accept. 8 Click Properties to change the settings for the print queue.
For more information, see Changing the print queue properties on page 21.
9 Click Next. 10 Finish creating the print queue. If you are using Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, or Linux with CUPS, select Enable Printer Classes to put a queue
in a class. For more information about printer classes, see Working with printer classes on page 22.
If you are using Linux with the LPRng print subsystem, select Enable Printer Aliases to create aliases for this
queue. For more information about printer aliases, see Working with printer aliases on page 22.

11 Click Finish.

Creating print queues from the command line
1 Before you can create the queue, you must gather the following information: a valid device name, the printer
type, the printer language, and the default print queue settings options.
a The device name associated with the print queue must exist before you create the queue. You can list the defined virtual devices by running the following command:
# /usr/lexprint/bin/lsdevice -l
If the device does not exist, you can create one by running the mkdevice command.
For more information, see Creating virtual devices on page 17.
b The supported printer types and languages can be found by running the following command:
# /usr/lexprint/bin/supported_printers Locate the line listed from the supported_printers command that contains the model number of your printer. Example: You want to create a queue for a Lexmark T632. You locate the line matching this printer from supported_printers and it looks like this: Lexmark T632 10LT63x automatic The printer type is 10LT63x, and the supported language is automatic.

Supported language notes

All printer types support raw as the language type. This makes the print queue a pass-through queue.
This means the print job is sent to the printer without any queue modification.
The Automatic language type lets you set the language type to be automatic, pcl, or ps. If you select

The printer driver shows these states by placing an icon on the print queue within the Icon View, and by changing the color of the text in Detail View.
If you see a red X on a print queue, the print queue is rejecting jobs. If you see a yellow ! on a print queue, the print queue is disabled.
To change the status of a print queue within the printer driver:
1 Right-click the print queue. 2 Select or clear the appropriate Enabled and Accepting check boxes.
To change the status of a print queue from the command line, type the following command: # /usr/lexprint/bin/chqueue -q myqueue -m accept|reject|enable|disable Notes:
Accept, reject, enable, and disable are all options for the action you want to perform. Specify only one of these
actions when typing the command.
Type chqueue -h from the command line for more details regarding this command.
Changing the print queue properties
1 Open the printer driver. 2 Right-click the print queue icon. 3 Select the appropriate Properties menu item. 4 Change the settings. 5 Click OK.
How you change the properties determines which print jobs are affected.
If you open the printer driver as a normal user, your changes are saved in your home directory and apply to all
print jobs you send to the print queue. A special icon appears on the printer icon to indicate that the properties are your personal print queue properties.
If you opened the printer driver as an administrator, your changes apply to every user who has not saved personal
print queue properties for that print queue.
If you change the settings through Print File or lexlp, your changes affect the properties for that specific print
job. The changes do not affect any other jobs sent to that print queue. Note: Application settings override any properties you set up for the print queue. The settings shown in the Properties dialog include all possible properties options for that specific printer type. However, your printer may not have all of the available options installed. If you select an option the printer does not support, the printer ignores the unsupported settings. For example, the Printer Type may support an optional duplex unit. However, if a duplex unit is not connected to the printer, your print job prints on one side of the paper.
Working with printer aliases
Introduction to printer aliases
Use Printer Aliases when you are creating a queue in Linux to provide alternative names for a print queue. For example, the real name of a print queue could be Bldg_4_Room1, but the alias describes it as duplex." Users can then use Bldg_4_Room1 or duplex as the print queue name when printing. Note: Printer aliases are supported only on Linux platforms with the LPRng print subsystem enabled. If you want to modify the aliases of a queue, you need to recreate the print queue.

Creating a print queue with an alias
1 Access the Printer Aliases screen of the Add Print Queue Wizard. 2 Select Enable Printer Aliases. 3 Enter the name of the alias in the Alias Name field.
Displaying the alias of a print queue
Right-click the print queue, and select Printer Aliases.
Working with printer classes
Introduction to printer classes
Printer classes help you group several printers into one class. Once a printer class is set up, you can print to a class rather than a specific printer. Because printing resources are pooled within a class, the first available printer completes your job, providing faster turnaround. Note: Printer classes are optional and should be used only if they are considered beneficial for users. Printer classes are only available when you are creating a queue on Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, or Linux with CUPS enabled. You can access printer classes in two ways:
From the last screen of the Add Printer Queue Wizard By right-clicking a printer queue and then selecting Printer Classes
To add this printer to a class, select Enable Printer Classes. You have three options available:
Create a New Class Select Existing Class Remove Existing Class
You cannot remove a queue from a class at the time you create the queue. You can also change or modify a printer queue class from the command line. To add a queue to a new or existing class, type the following command: # /usr/lexprint/bin/chqueue -q myqueue -c -a class1,class2 To remove a queue from a class, type the following command:
# /usr/lexprint/bin/chqueue -q myqueue -c -r class1 Note: After the last queue has been removed from a class, the class is removed automatically.

Creating a class

1 Access Printer Classes. 2 Select Create a New Class. 3 Enter the name of the new class.

Adding to a class

1 Access Printer Classes. 2 Select the check box next to the existing class to associate the queue with that class.
Removing a queue from a class
1 Access Printer Classes. 2 Clear the check box next to the class from which you want to remove the queue.
Note: A class exists as long as it contains queues.

Managing printer groups

Printer groups help you select a small group of print queues from the available print queues on a UNIX system. You can use the Group Manager tool to add or remove print queues in groups.

Creating a printer group

# /usr/lexprint/bin/lsqueue_opts -q queue_name
2 Find the name of the property you want to change and the value to which it can be changed.
3 Type the command to change the properties. 4 If you are printing from Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, or Linux with CUPS, use the following command to change
properties: # lp -d queue_name -o property_name=property_value file_name If you are printing from Linux with the LPRng print subsystem, use the following command to change properties: # lpr -P queue_name -C "lexopts:property_name=property_value" file_name Example: You have a print queue (lab_printer) that is currently set to print only single-sided pages, and you need to print a two-sided report. You can specify the change at the command line.
1 Determine if the print queue supports the feature you want to use (in this case, duplex printing), and type the
appropriate command. # /usr/lexprint/bin/lsqueue_opts -q lab_printer The screen then reads: duplex none (default) short_edge long_edge printer setting
2 Find the property name and value that controls duplexing. For this example, use duplex=long_edge. 3 If you are printing from Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, or Linux with CUPS, type the following at the command line:
# lp -d lab_printer -o duplex=long_edge my_report.ps If you are printing from Linux using the LPRng print subsystem, type the following at the command line: # lpr -P lab_printer -C "lexopts:duplex=long_edge" my_report.ps

Printing a file

1 Right-click the print queue, and then select Print File from the menu. 2 From the browser dialog, select the file. 3 If you want to change the printing preferences for this job only, click Preferences.
Note: Unless your printer supports Direct Image or an ImageQuick card SIMM, only PostScript emulation, PCL emulation, and ASCII text files can be printed in this manner.

4 Click Print File.

Printing a test page
Printing a test page sends a job through the print queue to verify the queue is working correctly. The test page includes information such as the queue name, device name, and printer type.
1 Right-click the print queue icon. 2 Select Print Test Page.

Printing a duplex job

Duplex printing is printing on both sides of the paper. The printer must have an optional duplex unit installed in order to print on both sides of the paper. Check the documentation that came with the printer to determine if this option is supported. If you have an optional duplex unit installed in your printer, you can specify duplex printing by indicating the binding edge you want to use from the Duplex options. If you select Long-edge, the pages of the document turn like the pages of a magazine. If you select Short-edge, the pages turn like the pages of a legal pad

Printing multiple pages on one sheet
The multiple-page printing option lets you print images of multiple pages on one sheet. You can specify the direction the multiple images fit on the page and whether images are separated by a border. When you make a selection, the graphic to the right of the option changes to show how the printed page will look.
1 From the Properties dialog box, click Setup. 2 Choose the number of page images you want to print on the same sheet of paper. 3 Click OK.
Note: Not all printers support the multiple-page feature. Check the documentation that came with the printer to determine if the printer supports this feature.
Printing multiple copies of a document
Use the Copies option to print more than one copy of a document at a time. The Copies box on the Setup tab is independent of a Copies option that may be available in the Print dialog box of some programs. Program settings usually override the settings on the Setup tab. Specifying the number of copies on the Setup tab usually prints uncollated copies faster. Specifying a multiple numbers of copies on both the Setup tab and in a program Print dialog box may produce unpredictable results.
1 From the Properties dialog box, click Setup. 2 Enter the number of copies. 3 Click OK.

Collating copies

By default, multiple copies of a document are not collated. All copies of the first page are printed, followed by all copies of the second page, and so on. If you want to print collated copies, select the Collate Copies check box. This enables the printer to print copies in sequence (one copy of the first page, followed by one copy of the second page, followed by another copy of the first page, followed by another copy of the second page). Note: If the printer does not have enough memory to collate a large document, it prints collated pages of part of the document. It then prints collated pages of the remainder of the document.
Changing the orientation of a print job
You can specify the orientation you want to use for printing documents in the Print Queue Properties dialog boxes.
Select Portrait if you want the document taller than it is wide. Select Landscape if you want the document wider than it is tall. Select Reverse Landscape or Reverse Portrait to rotate the document 180 degrees. This rotates the document

upside down.

Select Printer Setting to let the printer determine the orientation.
Note: These settings are only supported by the PCL emulation printer language.
Changing the Lines Per Page setting
Some applications do not have page settings or print settings capability, or they do not let you change the number of printed lines on a sheet of paper. You can adjust the number of printed lines on a single page, or the number of printed lines in an inch from the PCL Emulation Properties of a print queue.

1 Open the print queue properties.
2 Click Page Layout. 3 Change the number of Lines Per Page. 4 Change the number of Lines Per Inch. 5 Click OK.

Notes:

This feature is only supported by the PCL emulation printer language. The lines per page and lines per inch numbers work together. You can select 66 Lines Per Page which deactivates the Lines Per Page and Lines Per Inch settings and prints 66
lines on a letter-size piece of paper.
Defining the printable area when printing text files
1 Open the print queue properties. 2 Click Page Layout. 3 From the Page Layout dialog box, click
width. next to the text boxes to select the margin size, indentation, and page
4 Select Text Wrap if you want lines to wrap when they reach the printing area margins. 5 Select Auto CR if you want carriage returns when a line feed is encountered. This is commonly used by UNIX users
to fix problems with ASCII text printing.
6 Select the orientation for the print job. 7 Click OK.
Using the Print and Hold setting
When sending a job to the printer, you can hold a job in the printer memory using the printer driver. When you are ready to print the job, access the printer control panel menus to select the held job you want to print.
2 Click Print and Hold. 3 Select the type of print and hold setting you want to apply. Select Off if you do not want to hold your print jobs. Select Confidential if you want to hold your jobs in the buffer of the printer until a personal identification
number (PIN) is entered from the control panel. There is a default PIN for the printer driver; it appears in the Job Information to the right of the Print and Hold options. The PIN must be four digits. This ensures the job does not print until you are ready to retrieve it, and it ensures no one else using the printer can print the job.
Select Verify to print one copy and hold all remaining copies in the printer memory. For example, you may
want to make sure the first copy is satisfactory before printing the remaining copies. After you print all the copies, the Verify job is deleted from the printer memory.
Select Repeat to print the originally requested copies of the print job, and then store the job in memory so
you can print additional copies later. You can print additional copies as long as the job remains stored in memory.
Select Reserve if you do not want to print the job immediately, but want to store the job in memory so you
can print it later. The job is held in memory until you delete it from the Held Jobs menu. Note: Reserve and Repeat print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.
To use the confidential Print and Hold function from the command line of a Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, or Linux with CUPS system, enter the following command: # lp -d queue_name -o print_hold=confidential -o pin_no=pin file_name To use the confidential Print and Hold function from the command line of a Linux with the LPRng system, enter the following command: # lpr -P queue_name -C "lexopts:print_hold=confidential pin_no=pin" file_name Note: Not all printers support the Print and Hold feature. See the printer documentation to determine if the printer supports this feature.

Default settings for the program or queue
I am a normal user and do not have permissions to add or remove queues. Can I change the settings (such as duplex or input trays) of the queue ? Yes, you can change the settings for a particular print queue, and those settings are saved to your home account. You can also change the settings for a single print job. I changed the settings on the queue, but when my colleague prints to the same queue on the same host, the settings are different from mine. What is wrong? You have created user settings for that print queue, but if your colleague has not, the system settings are still in effect. Your colleague must open the printer driver and change his or her user settings. Can I make My Printers my default group? No.

Related topics

What are the network options in the virtual device, and how do they work? When you add a network device, you can set options such as Administrator User ID, Logfile Name, Printer Intervention Information for User, and Printer Intervention Information for Administrator.
The Administrator User ID is the ID of the system administrator who receives printer intervention information. The Logfile Name is the field where you can specify the location and name of the logfile. The Printer Intervention Information for User and Administrator are the fields where you select how the printer
driver communicates important information to the current user (whoever is sending the job when the error state is reached) and Administrator (the person listed in the Administrator User ID field). What are printer classes, and how do they work? Printer classes are available only when you are creating a queue on Sun Solaris, HP-UX, Linux with CUPS, or IBM AIX. Enabling classes for a printer and then adding the printer to a class means that if one printer in that class has a print job in process when another job comes in, the new print job can be printed on another printer in that class. For more information, see Working with printer classes on page 22. What are printer groups? Printer groups are ways of organizing print queues to make them manageable for a user. There are two default printer groups in the printer driver: All Printers and My Printers. My Printers is a subset of All Printers the user selects to organize the volume of printers available on a system connected to a large network. What is the difference between All Printers and My Printers in the tree on the left pane? All Printers is a list of all print queues available on the system. My Printers is a subset of All Printers, and is determined by the user. When I right-click the print queue icon, I see the Web page for some printers. Why does it not appear for others? The page is available only for network-connected printers. It is not be available for printers connected by a parallel, serial, or USB connection. Can I change a print queue's printer type after creation? No. You must re-create the queue with the appropriate printer type.

Step 8: Configure for TCP/IP P/IP
If you have TCP/IP available on your network, we recommend that you assign an IP address to the printer.
Assigning a printer IP address
If your network is using DHCP, an IP address is automatically assigned after you connect the network cable to the printer.
Look for the address under the TCP/IP heading on the network setup page you printed in Printing a network setup page on page 54. Go to Verifying the IP settings on page 57 and begin with step 2.
If your network is not using DHCP, then you must manually assign an IP address to the printer. An easy way to do this is to use the printer operator panel:

Note: Standard Network

appears if you purchased a printer with a network port on the printer system board. If you have a MarkNet print server installed in option card slot 1 or 2, you see Network Option 1 or Network Option 2.

Note: To reach a command

prompt on Windows computers, click Start Programs Command prompt (or Accessories Command prompt if using Windows 2000).
Ping the printer and verify that it responds. For example, at a command prompt on a network computer, type ping followed by the new printer IP address (for example): ping 192.168.0.11 If the printer is active on the network, you receive a reply.

Configuring for Pull Printing
If your printer has an optional ImageQuick firmware card installed, you can configure for Pull Printing once an IP address has been assigned to the printer. For detailed configuration instructions, refer to the CD that shipped with the ImageQuick firmware card.

Configure for TCP/IP 57

Step 9: Install drivers for network printing
After you have assigned and verified the TCP/IP settings, you are ready to install the printer drivers on each network computer.
In Windows environments, network printers can be configured for direct printing or shared printing.
Direct printing means the printer is attached directly to the network using an available LAN connection or open port on a hub. In this type of network printing, printer drivers are typically installed on each network computer. A shared printer is connected locally to one of the computers on the network using a local printer cable such as USB. The printer is installed on the network computer attached to the printer. During the driver installation, the printer is set up to be shared so that other network computers are allowed to print to it.
More information about each of these network printing methods is on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.
Creating ports and installing drivers

Note: Using a custom

printer driver and a custom network port provides enhanced functionality, such as printer status alerts.
Read the detailed instructions on the drivers CD. Click View Documentation and look for information about network printer installation for your specific Windows environment. If you choose to install without using the instructions on the drivers CD, you need a basic understanding of network printing on TCP/IP networks, installing printer drivers, and the process involved in creating new network ports.
