About LPD Line Printer Daemon (LPD) refers to the protocol and programs associated with line-printer spooling services that may be installed on various TCP/IP systems. Some of the widely used systems in which the HP Jetdirect print server functionality supports LPD include: G Berkeley-based (BSD) UNIX systems G HP-UX G Solaris G IBM AIX G Linux G Windows NT/2000 G Mac OS The UNIX configuration examples in this section show the syntax for BSD-based UNIX systems. The syntax for your system may vary. See your system documentation for the correct syntax. Note The LPD functionality can be used with any host implementation of LPD that complies with the RFC 1179 document. The process for configuring printer spoolers, however, may differ. See your system documentation for information on configuring these systems. The LPD programs and protocol include the following: Table 5.1 LPD Programs and Protocols Program Name lpr lpq lprm lpc lpd Purpose of Program Queues jobs for printing Displays print queues Removes jobs from print queues Controls print queues Scans and prints the files if the specified printer is connected to the system. If the specified printer is connected to another system, this process forwards the files to an lpd process on the remote system where the files are to be printed. ENWW Configuring for LPD Printing 158
