Deleting a Print Queue
1 Log on to the root account.
2 Enter the following command:
gl1020rm <queue name>
This command uses the system’s lpadmin command to
delete the print queue and configuration file.
Changing the Default Values of a Print Queue
1 Study the interface file, named <queue name>, which is
stored in the
/etc/lp/interfaces directory.
This file contains all of the default settings and values that
can be set. These values are case sensitive and must conform
to the /bin/sh variable format.
2 To manually edit the configuration file
(
/etc/lp/interfaces/<queue name>.conf), add a line
that consists of the parameter and value.
For example, to change the default orientation to Landscape,
add the following line:
orient=LANDSCAPE
PRINTING TO THE GL-1020 IN UNIX
LP Command
Use the lp command (lpstat in Linux) to send a file to the
GL-1020 controller for printing. This command specifies various
printer-specific options using the
-o option parameter on the
command line. The
lp command also sets other print options
using various other parameters. Use the
man net_gl1020.1
command to view the online document that describes the various
options and parameters that can be set to configure printed
output.
All the options are sent to the GL-1020 controller at the start of a
print job so, if the print file contains its own commands, they may
override the
lp options.
