Click here for the Definition of LPR/LPD Printing
LPR/LPD is a printing method used in many TCP/IP networks. It is in wide use on university and business campuses where IBM Mainframe and iSeries systesm as well as UNIIX based systems have been in place for a lomg time. LPR/LPD is a computer-to-computer printing method, rather than a Host-to-PC method.
The LPR/LPD protocol is broken into two parts, LPR and LPD.
LPR is an acronym for Line Printer Request. This is the part that submits the print request. LPR is the client part of the protocol and is sometimes confused when used on a Mainframe. Any system submitting requests via an "LPR client" is referred to as a client.
LPD stands for Line Printer Daemon. This is the piece that receives and processes the request. A "daemon" is a server or agent. BlueZone TCP/IP Print Server is an LPD server.
The LPD Protocol Specification is documented in RFC 1179.
BlueZone TCP/IP Print Server is a Windows application that supports the LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol enabling End Users to receive and customize print jobs from an LPR (Line Printer Request) Client on any iSeries, Mainframe, UNIX or Windows-based system, to any Windows defined printer, whether locally attached or remote.
BlueZone TCP/IP Print Server is known as a Line Printer Daemon, or LPD for short. A "daemon" is a server or sometimes referred to as an agent. BlueZone TCP/IP Print Server is an LPD Server.
Use the BlueZone TCP/IP Print Server where your host system is running a Line Printer Request (LPR) client that is configured to send print jobs to a specific End User IP address.
The BlueZone TCP/IP Print Server is a Line Printer Daemon (LPD) that runs on the End User's workstation that listens for print jobs that are being sent directly to it by the LPR client.
