Lpd On System V - Motorola WPS870G User Manual

LPD on System V

Before beginning LPD Setup, ensure that an IP address has been assigned to the Wireless
Print Server. Keep the following points in mind:
The remote host name is the name of the Wireless Print Server.
The remote printer name is the print queue name for the Logical Printer. Logical
printers also need to be configured on the Wireless Print Server itself.
If your UNIX asks for the LPD type, be sure to identify the service type as BSD. The
Wireless Print Server's LPD protocol meets BSD system standards.
In the sample commands shown, printer_name is the name of the Print Queue serviced
by the Wireless Print Server, and Spooler_directory is the name of the directory, which
is used to spool the print jobs.
