Print Queue
Option 1:
Setting up lpd
Follow this procedure to use the native lpd print protocol on a
BSD host with the XNIC. Exact syntax may vary from one UNIX
system to another. First, determine if lpd is supported on your
system by entering:
ps -ax | grep lpd
Note
The lpd service is only defined for port 1 on the XNIC. This
port is the interface between the XNIC and the printer
controller board.
If the system does not return a process number for lpd, you
must use rprint as described in the section Print Queue
Option 2: Setting up RPRINT on BSD Hosts (page 5-30)
