Using the Remote Printer LPR/TCPIP Option at the Server Console
At the server console, you can create a Printer Agent to represent a printer
attached to one of the following:
●
A workstation or a remote file server
●
Directly to the network, running in lpr mode in a TCP/IP environment
and for which no gateway is available
A Printer Agent configured in this mode will emulate a legacy print server
(PServer Emulation), and will no longer require the pserver.nlm file.
