Windows CE Thin Client User Manual APPENDIX A Network Printing Using LPR/LPD Introduction This appendix describes how to configure your thin client for network printing with Windows and UNIX servers. LPR (Line Printer Remote) is a printing protocol that is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It allows you to send a print job to a networked computer or to an LPR-equipped network printer for handling with other print jobs. The job is placed in a "print queue". For LPR to work, there must be a receiving device that is running the Line Printer Daemon (LPD). This is the computer utility that is responsible for accepting LPR print jobs. Neoware thin clients include LPD for accepting LPR print jobs. Windows NT and Windows 2000/2003 servers can print using LPR, as can UNIX/Linux servers and many mainframes. This means that print jobs can be directed to Neoware thin clients from virtually any server operating system. System Administrators can create network printers for use by anyone using the network, without depending on having an active user session. Both the thin client and the server require configuration in order to use LPR/LPD. This appendix describes typical configuration settings on Neoware thin clients, as well as on Windows and UNIX servers. 193
