Configuring Printing for UNIX Clients
This feature enables the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol (sometimes referred to as "BSD compatible"
network printing) to spool and control print jobs on the appliance from any RFC 1179-compliant LPD client
including (not all LPD implementations are RFC 1179-compliant):
HP-UX 10.x and above
Solaris
Linux
AIX 4.3 and above
LPD print jobs are visible to Windows clients, but Windows users cannot manage (pause, resume, restart or
cancel) them unless that user has the appropriate administrative rights on the appliance.
Both UNIX and Windows clients can simultaneously print to the same printer regardless of whether a printer
driver has been associated with with printer.
As a default, LPD printing is enabled for all hosts. Administrators can restrict printing to a certain set of hosts,
if desired.
Note: The appliance does not process control files for printing options such as number of copies. Instead it will
pass this information straight through to the target device and the target device may choose to handle or ignore
these options.
