3.2.4 Printing using a Third Party TCP LPR/LPD Stack
If the systems has a third party TCP/IP stack, use an LPR client. LPR
clients allow users to send print jobs to an LPR host (an “LPR/LPD host”).
FastPort acts as an LPR host. Check your TCP/IP documents to verify that
LPR/LPD can be used to print. Most LPR clients require two values:
• IP address of the FastPort
• Name of the remote printer.
If the IP address field has FastPort’s IP address, then the remote printer
name will be one of the list of names that FastPort supports. See Table 5-1
(page 5-5 in Chapter 5) for pre-defined queue names.
