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 Input tasks are configured primarily through user options (see "LPD Input plugin
preferences" on page798). The only LDP information you enter in each LPD task is the queue
name.
