Advanced Printing Software
Advanced Printing Software is a printing system for Tru64 UNIX, developed in collaboration with Xerox and based on
PrintXchange technology from Xerox. It is a distributed client/server printing system intended for use in workgroup and
enterprise environments. Advanced Printing Software is based on a printing model defined by ISO 10175 and a command
set defined by POSIX 1387.4. To provide inter-operation with the default BSD based printing system on Tru64 UNIX,
Advanced Printing Software uses inbound and outbound gateways to move print jobs to or from the lpr/lpd print subsystems.
LPD Printing
Tru64 UNIX includes printing software based on the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) lpr/lpd printing model. It uses
extended Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol (RFC 1179) to transfer print jobs to and from remote hosts. Print filters are
supplied for a wide variety of printer models, both networked and directly connected. See the Supported Hardware Section
for information about supported printer models.
