The following queues are available for the new printer on the SGI systems which RCC maintains. If they are not available on your system, please contact RCC Operations ops@sr.unh.edu to request that they be added.

Ocassionally, you will find a print job that becomes corrupted when sent through one of these queues. Usually these jobs were generated by dvips, but not always. This is due to a bug in the ESP Print software we are using to select printer features. We are currently working with people at EasySW to resolve this problem.

In the meantime, we have added a hp8500-raw queue to allow you to print those jobs which the ESP software corrupts. This queue bypasses the ESP software, but only can print single-sided color printouts on letter sized paper.

To use any of these queues, use the standard lpr command syntax:

lpr -P queuename postscript_file(s)

ie:

lpr -P hp8500c colorfile.ps

HP8500 Queues on SGI systems (lp)

For your convenience, we have added the following lp-style queues to the SGI systems for those who use software that requires lp.

To use any of these queues, use the standard lp command syntax:

lp -d queuename postscript_file(s)

ie:

lp -d hp8500c colorfile.ps

HP8500 Queues on Sun systems (lp)

The following lp-style queues are available on the Sun systems which RCC maintains.

To use any of these queues, use the standard lp command syntax:

lp -d queuename postscript_file(s)

lp -d hp8500c colorfile.ps

HP8500 on Macintosh, Windows
