Windows CE Thin Client Appliance User Manual Appendix 2 Using LPR/LPD Printing This appendix describes how to configure your Neoware thin client appliance for network printing with Windows and UNIX servers. Network printing using LPR/LPD LPR (which stands for "Line Printer Remote" although you can use it with most kinds of printer) is a printing protocol that is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. LPR 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 gets placed in a "print queue"). For LPR to work, there must be a receiving device that is running the Line Printer Daemon ("LPD"), the computer utility that is responsible for accepting LPR jobs. Neoware thin client appliances 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. That means print jobs can be directed to Neoware appliances from virtually any server operating system. This allows System Administrators to create network printers for use by anyone using the network, without depending on having an active user session. Both the thin client appliance and the server require configuration in order to use LPR/LPD. This appendix describes typical configuration settings on Neoware appliances, as well as on Windows and UNIX servers. 139 Appendix

Using LPR/LPD
Printing
This appendix describes how to configure your Neoware thin client
appliance for network printing with Windows and UNIX servers.
Network printing using LPR/LPD
LPR (which stands for "Line Printer Remote" although you can use
it with most kinds of printer) is a printing protocol that is part of the
TCP/IP protocol suite. LPR allows you to send a print job to a net-
worked computer (or to an LPR-equipped network printer) for han-
dling with other print jobs (the job gets placed in a "print queue").
For LPR to work, there must be a receiving device that is running
the Line Printer Daemon ("LPD"), the computer utility that is
responsible for accepting LPR jobs.
Neoware thin client appliances 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.
That means print jobs can be directed to Neoware appliances from
virtually any server operating system. This allows System Admin-
istrators to create network printers for use by anyone using the net-
work, without depending on having an active user session.
Both the thin client appliance and the server require configuration
in order to use LPR/LPD. This appendix describes typical configu-
ration settings on Neoware appliances, as well as on Windows and
UNIX servers.
