12. LPD - Network Print Server

This chapter describes how to start and use the LPD (Line Printer Daemon) program supplied with nfsAxe.

LPD is a Network Print Server (daemon) that provides access to your local (attached to your PC) and Microsoft-network-accessible printers across TCP/IP. Remote computers must have the LPR program that supports the Berkeley Line Printer protocol (see Request For Comments #1179).

(This RFC describes an existing print server protocol widely used on the Internet for communicating between line printer daemons (both clients and servers).

The Berkeley versions of the UNIX operating system provide line printer spooling with a collection of programs: lpr (assign to queue), lpq (display the queue), lprm (remove from queue), and lpc (control the queue). These programs interact with an autonomous process called the line printer daemon.)
