ALPD printing
The HP Jetdirect print server contains an LPD server module to support LPD printing. This chapter
describes how to configure the HP Jetdirect print server for use with various systems that support LPD
printing, and includes the following sections:
●
LPD on UNIX systems on page 165
◦
Configuring BSD-based UNIX systems using LPD
◦
Configuring print queues using the SAM utility (HP-UX systems)
●
LPD on Windows Server 2003/2008 systems on page 168
●
LPD on Windows XP systems on page 170
NOTE: For systems not listed, see your operating system documentation and online help.
Recent versions of Novell NetWare (NetWare 5.x with NDPS 2.1 or greater) support LPD printing. For
setup instructions and support, see the supplied NetWare documentation. Also, see the Technical
Information Documentation (TID) on Novell's support Web site.
About LPD
Line printer daemon (LPD) refers to the protocol and programs associated with line-printer spooling
services that are typically installed on various TCP/IP systems.
Some of the systems in which the HP Jetdirect print server functionality supports LPD include:
●
Berkeley-based (BSD) UNIX systems
●
HP-UX
●
Solaris
●
IBM AIX
●
Linux
●
Windows Server 2003/2008
The UNIX configuration examples in this section show the syntax for BSD-based UNIX systems. The
syntax for your system can vary. See your system documentation for the correct syntax.
NOTE: Use LPD functionality with any host implementation that complies with the RFC 1179
document. The process for configuring printer spoolers, however, might differ. See your system
documentation for information on configuring these systems.
The LPD programs and protocol include the following:
