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 LPD printing is supported include: ■ Linux ■ Windows The syntax for your system may vary. See your system documentation for the correct syntax. NOTE For supported systems, the LPD functionality can be used with host implementations of LPD that comply 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 C-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. Requirements for Configuring LPD Before you can use LPD printing, your printer must be properly connected to the network through the HP Jetdirect print server, and you must have print server status information. This information is listed on the HP Jetdirect printer configuration page. If you have not printed a configuration page from your printer, see your printer documentation for instructions. You must also have the following: ■ A supported operating system that supports LPD printing. ■ Superuser (root) or Administrator access to your system. ■ The LAN hardware address (or station address) of the print server. This address is printed with print server status information on the HP Jetdirect configuration page and is of the form: HARDWARE ADDRESS: xxxxxxxxxxxx where x is a hexadecimal digit (for example, 0001E6123ABC). ■ An IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server. 96 Appendix C Configuring for LPD Printing ENWW

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 LPD printing is supported include:
■
Linux
■
Windows
The syntax for your system may vary. See your system documentation for the correct syntax.
NOTE
For supported systems, the LPD functionality can be used with host implementations
of LPD that comply 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 C-1
LPD Programs and Protocols
Program Name
Purpose of Program
lpr
Queues jobs for printing
lpq
Displays print queues
lprm
Removes jobs from print queues
lpc
Controls print queues
lpd
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.
Requirements for Configuring LPD
Before you can use LPD printing, your printer must be properly connected to the network through the
HP Jetdirect print server, and you must have print server status information. This information is listed
on the HP Jetdirect printer configuration page. If you have not printed a configuration page from your
printer, see your printer documentation for instructions. You must also have the following:
■
A supported operating system that supports LPD printing.
■
Superuser (root) or Administrator access to your system.
■
The LAN hardware address (or station address) of the print server. This address is printed with
print server status information on the HP Jetdirect configuration page and is of the form:
HARDWARE ADDRESS: xxxxxxxxxxxx
where x is a hexadecimal digit (for example, 0001E6123ABC).
■
An IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server.
