• A Winsock compliant

Using the LPR gateway

If your network uses TCP/IP, you print through the LPR gateway.

Occasionally, large jobs, jobs containing a large number of graphics, or jobs that are printed on busy networks may cause the LPR connection to time out. If a time-out occurs, you may increase the LPR time-out values at the Windows workstation in order to allow these jobs to print. Set the default time-out values (in seconds) in the XDOCSUB.INI file, as follows:

1.

Locate the XDOCSUB.INI file on your workstation.

• For Windows 95/98, this file should be in the

c:\windows directory.

•

For Windows NT/2000, this file should be in the

c:\WINNT directory.

2.

Use a text editor to add the following section and keyword value pairs to the XDOCSUB.INI file:

[LPR Options]OpenPrintTimeOut=25

ClosePrintTimeOut=20

SendPrintTimeOut=20

RecvPrintTimeOut=20

OpenVerifyTimeOut=15

CloseVerifyTimeOut=5

SendVerifyTimeOut=10

RecvVerifyTimeOut=15

3.

Save and close the XDOCSUB.INI file.

Setting up the printer discovery file

The printer.disc (printer discovery) file contains a list of the

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) addresses of all printers that are connected to your workstation and whose controllers are running DocuSP level 3.0 or higher, or NPS 8.0 and higher.

The name “printer.disc” is the default name for the printer discovery file, but it can be any name that you choose. The printer discovery file is used for locating both IPP and LPR printers.

When XDS Plus is opened and run, it reads the printer discovery file and displays the names of the connected printers in the Print Monitor and Change Printer windows as appropriate.

To be able to use your connected printers with XDS Plus, you must set up the printer discovery file by entering in it the IPP addresses of those printers. The printer controllers must be running DocuSP software level 3.0 or higher, or NPS 8.0 and higher.

The following sections describe the procedures that are available from the XDS Printer Registration windows.
