Setting up LPD (LPR) Printing
for HP Jetdirect 175x external print server/Internet connector for USB
and HP Jetdirect 310x external print server/Internet connector for
USB
The HP Jetdirect print server contains an LPD (Line Printer Daemon)
server module to support LPD printing. Other terms for these services
are “LPR (Line Printer Request)”, from the perspective of the printing
clients, “BSD printing”, and “Print Services for UNIX”. These refer to
the protocol and programs associated with line-printer spooling
services that may be installed on various TCP/IP systems. These
systems include Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Mac OS.
The LPD programs include the following:
Program
Name
Purpose of Program
lpr
Line Printer Request: Queues jobs for printing
lpq
Line Printer Queues: Displays print queues
lprm
Line Printer Remove: Removes jobs from print
queues
lpc
Line Printer Control: Controls print queues
lpd
Line Printer Daemon: Scans and prints the files if the
specified printer is connected to the system. If the
specified printer is connected to another system, this
process forwards the files to an lpd process on the
remote system where the files are to be printed.
