5.3 Choosing the Type of Installation
For most operating systems, you have the option of using host-resident printing or NIC-
resident printing which uses the line printer daemon. Choose a method that is appropriate
for your site, based on the following differences:
• The host-resident method can report the status of the print queue; the NIC-resident
method does not.
• The host-resident method can print the user name and file name on its banner page;
the NIC-resident method prints a banner page with the host's name.
• The host-resident method requires you to repeat the configuration procedure on every
host that you want to be able to print jobs. The NIC-resident method requires you to
configure the printer one time, when you install the NIC.
After choosing a method, issue one of the following commands:
To perform a host-resident installation: nicinst
To perform a NIC-resident installation: lpdinst
5.4 Completing the Configuration
Go to the subsection for your operating system and follow the instructions for the type of
installation you chose.
