Configuring LPD on System V
Before beginning LPD Setup, make sure that an IP address has been assigned to your print server
and that the following statements apply:
• The remote host name is the name of the print server.
• The remote printer name is the print queue name for the logical printer.
• Logical printers are configured on the print server itself.
• You identify the service type as BSD if your UNIX system asks for the LPD type.
The LPD protocol that the print server uses meets BSD system standards.
Table 6-3
shows sample commands when using LPD. The definitions used in the sample
commands are:
•
printer_name
is the name of the print queue serviced by the print server.
