Using the lprafp command

The lprafp command lets you print documents from Windows systems and UNIX systems (such as HP-UX and SunOS) and specify Infoprint Server job attributes. For example, when you use the lprafp command, you can specify the name of a form definition in the form-definition attribute and the number of copies in the copies attribute.

You might want to use the lprafp command to print PDF or PostScript documents that are on your Windows or UNIX systems.

You can download the lprafp command and find out how to use it on the Ricoh lprafp web page at

On the Ricoh website, you can also find information about how to use the command.

Example:

This example shows how to print two copies of a PDF document named myfile.pdf on an AFP printer named myafpprinter using form definition F1FORM to format the AFP data. It assumes that:

The host name of the z/OS® system where Infoprint Server is running is systema.
Printer definition myafpprinter exists in the Infoprint Server Printer Inventory with these characteristics:
- The PDF to AFP transform is specified.
- The class and destination name for the PSF-controlled AFP printer are specified. (CLASS and DEST are JES work-selection parameters that can direct output from the JES spool to a PSF-controlled printer.)

lprafp -o"XAOP form-definition=f1form copies = 2" -p myafpprinter -s systema myfile.pdf
