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 PSA from any RFC 1179-compliant LPD client including:
● HP-UX 10.x and above
● Solaris
● Linux
● AIX 4.3 and above
Note: Not all LPD implementations are RFC 1179-compliant.
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 PSA.
Both UNIX and Windows clients can simultaneously print to the same printer regardless of whether a printer driver
has been associated with the 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 PSA 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.
