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.
