Intermate100 and Intermate101 Print Server Administration Manual 55
AIX: LPR (ASCII)
7.2. LPR (ASCII)
The AIX platform integrates the LPD protocol seamlessly into
the normal print spooling system. Setting up an LPD print
queue is therefore easy.

ization screen for a new remote print queue. Fill in the fields
described below.
Leave the remaining fields at their default values and press
<Enter> to activate the new settings.
