Windows NT 9-11
There are two different ways to start or stop the LPDSVC service. At the
command prompt:
1) Type net start
LPDSVC or net stop LPDSVC.
2) Press
ENTER.
In the
CONTROL PANEL:
3) Choose the
SERVICES option.
4) Select
LPDSVC in the service list.

On the UNIX computer, use the Windows NT printer by typing:
>
# lpr -S NTHost - P LpdPrinter myfile.txt
NTHost The Windows NT Server running the LPDSVC
service. This Windows NT computer should be
listed in the HOSTS file on the UNIX computer or on
the DNS server.
LpdPrinter The name of the printer created on NTHost.
myfile.txt The file to be printed.
The LPDSVC service is independent of the LPRMON service. The
LPRMON service allows a Windows NT computer (and all clients who
can access this computer) to print to a printer connected to a UNIX
system, as described in the previous section.
