7.4 UNIX Printing
The Network Interface Board can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes:
Ÿ Host-based lpd where a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations
and print data is communicated to the Network Interface Board via a TCP/IP port or,
Ÿ Printer-based lpd where the printer appears as a host running a line printer daemon.
In general, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD UNIX systems, requiring an entry in
the printcap file once the Network Interface Board has its IP information. Some UNIX System
V systems have restrictions on support of remote lpr/lpd printers, requiring that the host-
based lpr/lpd approach be used. For many operating systems, you have the option of using
host-resident printing or print server-resident printing. Each mode has certain advantages.
Ÿ The host-resident method can print the username and filename on its banner page; the print
server-resident method prints a banner page with the host's name.
Ÿ The print server-resident method requires you to configure the printer only one time, when you
install the print server. The host-resident method requires that a printing daemon be installed
on every host that you want to be able to print jobs.
Note: The Network Interface Board will also operate with other host-resident print
supervisor/spooler programs that present a print image to the printer over a TCP/IP port.
The base TCP/IP port number can be changed via Telnet, or the Network Interface Board
