    NTI RACKMUX RACKMOUNT ANSI TERMINAL DRAWER 7. USING PRINTER SERVER IN ETHERNET TERMINAL Introduction There are two ways to send the print jobs to Ethernet Terminal for printing: 1) through LPD protocol, and 2) through TFTP protocol. • The LPD method is more suitable for printing environments with a large number of users because the LPD protocol has a queue process so print jobs will be kept in the print queues in the CPU.

    NTI RACKMUX RACKMOUNT ANSI TERMINAL DRAWER Make the directory available to LPD main process Step 4. Basically, the method has the following three procedures: 1) Assign the spooling daemon as the owner of this directory. 2) Allow the spooling daemon to be able to read from or write to the directory. 3) Enable the group of LPD main processes to be able to read from or write to the directory.
