LPD tasks are configured primarily through user options (See "LPD Input Plug-In Preferences" on page
569). 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.
