system. Remote LPD was soon adopted as a de facto
standard. As a result, Remote LPD is now supported
by most versions of the UNIX operating system and by
many TCP/IP packages available for other operating
systems. Configuration of Remote LPD printing varies
among vendors who supply TCP/IP.
You may also use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for
printing. Typically FTP is used to transfer files between
computers on a TCP/IP network. The Network Print
Server simply prints the files it receives from FTP.
Remote Print Queue Name
The Remote Print Queue Name determines which
printer port will service the print job. The Remote Print
Queue Name may also be used to specify ASCII print
jobs. Both Remote LPD and FTP have provisions for
specifying a Remote Print Queue Name.
The Network Print Server looks at the last character of
the Remote Print Queue Name to determine which
printer port will service the print job. All Remote Print
