Configure LPD for Non-UNIX Hosts

Many non-UNIX hosts using TCP/IP support printing through the LPD
protocol. Refer to the host’s TCP/IP documentation to configure printers
using LPD. Information needed to configure the printer server includes:

• The IP address of the printer server
• The remote queue (printer) name
• TEXT and PASSTHRU as the printer server’s default queue names
• Either default TCP or acceptable TCP ports depend upon host

environment requirements.
