Lpd On System V - TRENDnet TE100-P1U User Manual

LPD on System V

Before beginning LPD Setup, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the Print Server.
Keep the following points in mind:
The remote host name is the name of the Print Server.
The remote printer name is the print queue name for the Logical Printer. Logical printers also
need to be configured on the Print Server itself.
If your UNIX asks for the LPD type, be sure to identify the service type as BSD. The 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
Print Server, and Spooler_directory is the name of the directory, which is used to spool the
print jobs.
