UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP Printing Overview The NC-2 Print Server can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes: • Host-based where a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations and print data is communicated to the NC-2 Print Server via a TCP/IP port or • Printer-based lpd where the printer appears as a host running a line printer daemon. Many operating systems provide the option of using host-resident printing or print server-resident printing. In general, printer-based lpd is easier to use on BSD UNIX systems. This requires an entry in the printcap file once the NC-2 Print Server has its IP information. Some UNIX System V systems have restrictions on support of remote lpd printers, requiring that the host-based lpd approach be used. Each printing mode has certain advantages over the other mode, as follows: • The host-resident method can print the username and filename on its banner page; whereas the print server-resident method prints a banner page with the host's name. • The print server-resident method requires you to configure the printer only one time, when you install the print server.; whereas, the host-resident method requires that a printing daemon be installed on every host that you want to be able to print jobs. NOTE: The NC-2 Print Server will also operate with other host-resident print supervisor/ spooler programs that present a print image to the printer over a TCP/IP port.
