Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration

LPD on System V

Before beginning LPD Setup, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the IOPRINT+

Print Server. Keep the following points in mind:

• The remote host name is the name of the IOPRINT+ Print Server.

• The remote printer name is the print queue name for the Logical Printer. Logical printers

also need to be configured on the IOPRINT+ Print Server itself. (See page 4).

• If your UNIX asks for the LPD type, be sure to identify the service type as BSD. The

IOPRINT+ Print Server's LPD protocol meets BSD system standards.

• In the sample commands shown, printer_name is the name of the Print Queue serviced

by the IOPRINT+ Print Server, and Spooler_directory is the name of the directory used to

spool the print jobs.
