LPD on BSD

Before continuing, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the LevelOne Printer
Server. Remember the following:
• The remote host name is the name of the LevelOne Printer Server.
• The remote printer name is the logical printer (L1..L3, or L1..L8) on the LevelOne

Printer Server.

• If asked for the LPD type, enter the service type as BSD.
• In the sample commands shown, printer_name is the Print Queue serviced by the

logical printer on the LevelOne Printer Server, and Spooler_dir is the name of the
directory used to spool the print jobs.
