LPD on BSD Before continuing, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the Print Server. Remember the following: The remote host name is the name of the Print Server. The remote printer name is the logical printer (e.g. L1) on the Print Server. If asked for the LPD type, enter the service type as BSD. In the sample commands shown, printer_name is the Print Queue serviced by the logical printer on the Print Server, and Spooler_dir is the name of the directory, which is used to spool the print jobs.

chown daemon
/usr/spool/Spooler_dir
Create read/write permissions
chmod 775 /
usr/spool/Spooler_dir
Give permissions to LPD
