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 Workflow 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 Workflow LPD server on PlanetPress Workflow workstation.
LPD tasks are configured primarily through user options (See "LPD Input plugin preferences"
on page633). 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.
