About LPD
Line Printer Daemon (LPD) refers to the protocol and programs
associated with line-printer spooling services that may be installed
on various TCP/IP systems.
Some of the widely used systems in which the HP JetDirect print
server functionality supports LPD include:
●
Berkeley-based (BSD) UNIX systems
●
HP-UX
●
Solaris
●
IBM AIX
●
Linux
●
Windows NT/2000
●
Mac OS
The UNIX configuration examples in this section show the syntax
for BSD-based UNIX systems. The syntax for your system may vary.
See your system documentation for the correct syntax.
Note The LPD functionality can be used with any host
implementation of LPD that complies with the
RFC 1179 document. The process for configuring
printer spoolers, however, may differ. See your
system documentation for information on
configuring these systems.
