Printer-based lpd
In this configuration, the printer appears as a host running a line printer
daemon.
Generally, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD UNIX systems that
require an entry in the printcap file once the Network Card has its IP infor-
mation. Some UNIX System V systems place restrictions on support of re-
mote lpr/lpd printers, requiring that the host-based lpr/lpd approach be
used.
On many UNIX systems, you can choose between host-resident printing
or print server-resident printing. The following shows the differences be-
tween the two types of printing.
✎
Note
The Network Card also operates with other host-resident print super-
visor/spooler programs that provide a print image to the printer over a
TCP/IP port. The base TCP/IP port number can be changed using Tel-
net, MAP, or a Web browser. The actual port is always one higher than
the base port number. The status page shows the actual port number.
With both the host-based and printer-based lpd, you must assign IP pa-
rameters to the Network Card. See “12.7 Setting Up IP Parameters”
(p. 12-53) for more information.
