LPD on BSD
Before continuing, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the Wireless Print Server.
Remember the following:
The

The

is the logical printer (e.g. L1) on the Wireless Print Server.
If asked for the LPD type, enter the service type as BSD.
In the sample commands shown,

printer on the Wireless Print Server, and
Spooler_dir
