This document is intended for an audience familiar with core networking fundamentals and concepts, and an understanding of general network typologies and practices.
  • Page 258 All KIP digital printers are capable of communicating via a dedicated TCP port designed for printing called Line Printer Remote / Line Printer Daemon. LPR/LPD protocols are defined by RFC1179. The KIP LPD accepts data on TCP port 515. Whereas LPR/LPD is commonly found in UNIX based networks, it is also found and accepted on Windows based networks, and Novell based networks.
  • Page 259 Job Tickets to the KIP Printer, and retrieve status indications from the KIP printer. KAWPDFT.EXE selects any unused upper level client TCP port ( > 1023 ) and attempts to connect to the KIP Printer’s listening TCP port (8421).

This destination can be specified by either an assigned IP address of a KIP printer or resolved host name of a KIP printer (i.e. DNS or WINS name resolved). This transport is accomplished via TCP port 8421 to a listening KIPSERVE.EXE on the remote host.
