Terminal Server User Guide
Using LPD
Page 101
Chapter 8 Printing
Accessing the Printer
The client is the machine that contains the file to be printed and may be running one of a
range of operating systems and applications. The client must support LPD, Unix systems
normally include a version of LPD and there are a number of TCP/IP applications for DOS/
Windows ® that also support LPD.
When printing via LPD the client refers to the printer by IP address (or the name associated
with this address from the host table) and printer name or queue name. This may take one of
the following forms:
• The name of the terminal server and no queue name or port number. This will cause the
print job to be printed on the first available LPD port on the terminal server of this name.
The Name field in the Port Setup Menu does not need to be set.
• The name of the terminal server followed by a port number. For example if the queue
name is server_name9 (or server_name09) then serial port 9 will receive the print job.
Please note that in this example, the Name field in the Port Setup Menu need not be set.
• The printer name as set in the Name field of the Port Setup Menu. More than one serial
port may have the same name allowing the server to create a hunt group of printers. The
first available port to match that queue name will receive the print job.
A special feature of LPD with terminal servers is the ability to do carriage-return and line feed
mapping at the server. This is accomplished by having a + appended to the client queue
name and is valid for all of the above methods of access. Alternatively, you may enable the
CR to CR LF mappingoption for the port.
Note
There is a maximum limit of 30 LPD connections per server, which may be distributed to all of
the available LPD ports as required. If the maximum is exceeded then the request is rejected
and the connection is closed.
