LPR port

LPD, Line Printer Daemon, is the protocol associated with line-printer

spooling services. Users can use the printing service from LPD running on a

network print server through the LPR port. Most operating systems, such as

Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2,

Linux, and UNIX, support LPR port printing.

Configuring an LPR port

You can enable or disable the LPR Printing port through Embedded Web

Service.

In Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2

To add an LPR port to Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Server

2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2, users must install a Standard TCP/IP port by

default, and then change the printing protocol in the printer properties. For

installing the Standard TCP/IP port, see page 30.
