Configuring Printing for UNIX Clients
This feature enables the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol (sometimes referred to as "BSD
compatible" network printing) to spool and control print jobs on the appliance from any RFC
1179-compliant LPD client including (not all LPD implementations are RFC 1179-compliant):
HP-UX 10.x and above
●
Solaris
●
Linux
●
AIX 4.3 and above
●
LPD print jobs are visible to Windows clients, but Windows users cannot manage (pause, resume, restart
or cancel) them unless that user has the appropriate administrative rights on the appliance.
Both UNIX and Windows clients can simultaneously print to the same printer regardless of whether a
printer driver has been associated with with printer.
As a default, LPD printing is enabled for all hosts. Administrators can restrict printing to a certain set of
hosts, if desired.
Note: The appliance does not process control files for printing options such as number of copies. Instead
it will pass this information straight through to the target device and the target device may choose to
handle or ignore these options.
LPD Settings
On the LPD Settings page, the administrator can enable or disable LPD printing.
