Accessing the
Printer
58
Name:
The LPD client, as a reference to the printer, will
use what you assign here. This is the printer
queue name on the Terminal Server.
Set this field to Remote . This sets the port of the
Access:
terminal server to listen for connections coming
from the network. There will be an INETD
process running on the terminal server that does
the listening.
You can check on the status of this process by
looking at the NETSTAT screen of the terminal
server's STATS menu (or show net).
Mode:
The port of the terminal server will operate in a
raw TCP/IP mode.
Local port:
The INETD process running on the terminal
server for this port is listening for TCP/IP
connections on TCP port 515 (this is the LPD
service number).
The client is the machine that contains the file to be printed
and may be running one of a range of operating systems and
applications. The client must support LPD, Unix systems
normally include a version of LPD and there are a number of
TCP/IP applications for DOS/Windows
When printing via LPD the client refers to the printer by IP
address (or the name associated with this address from the
host table) and printer name or queue name. This may take
one of three forms:
1. The name of the terminal server and no queue
name or port number. This will cause the print job
to be printed on the first available LPD port on the
terminal server of this name. The Name field in
the Port Setup Menu does not need to be set.

that also support LPD.
