logo Creating LPD Print Queues

Return to Introduction   

You must create one or more print queues to receive print files from a remote computer. The LPR routines on a remote computer send print files to a specific print queue. You may want to set up different print queues to be connected to different Windows printers or that use different print options. For example, you may want one print queue that prints on your local printer and another that prints on a network printer.

The following procedure outlines how to setup a print queue.

 

1.Open the SDI LPD Setup menu, click on Print Queues... and click on New Queue…
2.In the Save As dialog box, fill in a print queue name (for example, AS400).
3.Configure your queue using the instructions in the Print Queue Setup dialog box topic.
