Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks because they are
related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These cor-
respond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
LPD Input
LPD (Line Printer Daemon) input tasks retrieve data in the form of print files sent from remote computers using the LPD/LPR
protocol. ThePlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools LPD server starts automatically when a configuration that includes at least one
active LPD input task is started.
To prevent conflicts between competing LPD servers, you must not run any other LPD server than the PlanetPress Suite Work-
flow Tools LPD server on PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools workstation.
LPD tasks are configured primarily through user options (see LPD Input Preferences). The only LDP information you enter in
each LPD task is the queue name.
Input
This task does not poll an input, it sits there and waits for a job file to be sent through the LPRport.
Processing
When the job is received through LPR, it is saved as a job file. No further processing is done on the file.
Output
The task outputs the job file as is, with no evaluation or modification.
