Features of the Network Interface Card with TCP/IP

The Network Interface Card was designed as a direct network interface for printers in TCP/IP environments with systems that support the line printer daemon (lpd). The card works with UNIX systems, Windows NT, Windows PC/TCP compatible software such as PC/TCP FTP, and VMSTM systems that support lpd.

Systems that support TCP/IP and lpd can print to the card using lpr/lp commands. Systems can be configured using an LPR port, an IP address, and a queue named ps.

The Network Interface Card supports both PostScript and Raster Mode printing with TCP/IP.

Kodak does not develop PostScript drivers or export modules for UNIX platforms. However, other vendors do provide solutions in support of Kodak printers which support various UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh platforms and interfaces.
