To prevent conflicts between competing LPD servers, you must not run any other LPD server
than the PReS Workflow LPD server on PReS Workflow workstation.
LPD Input tasks are configured primarily through user options (see "LPD Input plugin
preferences" on page784). 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.
