Figure 9-5: Print Manager

For computers configured with Microsoft Network Client version 2.0 for
MS-DOS, users see only the shared name, not the printer name. Users who
connect to this TCP/IP printer can select and print to it from applications.
Users and administrators can use Print Manager to secure and audit the use of
the printer and change its properties.

Use the LPR connectivity utility at the command prompt to print a file to a
host running an LPD server. The LPQ diagnostic utility can also be used to
obtain the status of a print queue on a host running the LPD server. For more
information, see the entries for LPR and LPQ in the Windows NT System
Guide
.

Printing to Windows NT from UNIX

The LPDSVC service is the server side of TCP/IP printing for UNIX clients.
If any UNIX client on the network wants to print to a printer connected to a
Windows NT computer, this service needs to be running on the Windows NT
computer so it can accept requests from UNIX clients.

The LPDSVC service supports any print format, including plain-text. It does
not perform any additional processing.
