Use the following process to define a TCP printer when output is to be text only:
From Presentation Client, define each report destination as an alias in ROC. Refer to Defining a ROC Alias for more information. For example:
LincLp -S <server> -P <printer> [-J <jobname>] [-O <option>]
Where:
<server> specifies the name or IP address of the computer to which the printer is attached.
<printer> specifies the name of the printer to which the print queue is directed.
<jobname> specifies the name of the print job.
<option> indicates the type of file.
For example:
LincLp -S finance -P finance_pr
This command directs all your print jobs to the printer called finance_pr, which is attached to the server called finance.
If necessary, add any control codes required by the printer to the CODES file. Refer to the printer documentation for more information about control codes.
Note: Printing Services for UNIX (also known as TCP/IP printing services) must be installed and running on the server to which the printer is attached before a user can print. The printer can be attached to the user's workstation; in this configuration, the workstation acts as the print server. If you experience difficulties printing reports, check that TCP/IP printing services have been installed and started with your Environment administrator.
