The NetportExpress print server offers two methods for printing: using
proprint or using lpr/lpd. The proprint program, which comes with your
NetportExpress print server, enables you to view the status of print jobs
through log files. As the following table shows, most systems can use
proprint. Directions are provided for both proprint and lpd/lpr printing
setup.
