Windows NT 9-11
There are two different ways to start or stop the LPDSVC service. At the
command prompt:
1) Type net start LPDSVC or net stop LPDSVC.
2) Press ENTER.
In the CONTROL PANEL:
3) Choose the SERVICES option.
4) Select LPDSVC in the service list.
5) Click START.
On the UNIX computer, use the Windows NT printer by typing:
> # lpr -S NTHost - P LpdPrinter myfile.txt
NTHost The Windows NT Server running the LPDSVC
service. This Windows NT computer should be
listed in the HOSTS file on the UNIX computer or on
the DNS server.
LpdPrinter The name of the printer created on NTHost.
myfile.txt The file to be printed.
The LPDSVC service is independent of the LPRMON service. The
LPRMON service allows a Windows NT computer (and all clients who
can access this computer) to print to a printer connected to a UNIX
system, as described in the previous section.
Logging into the Printer Server
You can login to the printer server remotely from a UNIX workstation or
locally from a console terminal.
Remote Login
1) Login to a UNIX TCP/IP workstation.
The prompt may appear different than the one shown below.
2) Connect to the printer server:
> # telnet ip_address 2048
ip_address The printer server IP address in decimal dot
notation. For example: 123.234.345.456.
