Level One Printer Servers

LPD on System V

Before beginning LPD Setup, ensure that an IP Address has been assigned to the LevelOne Printer Server. Keep the following points in mind:

The remote host name is the name of the LevelOne Printer Server.

The remote printer name is the print queue name for the Logical Printer. Logical printers also need to be configured on the LevelOne Printer Server itself. (See ).

If your UNIX asks for the LPD type, be sure to identify the service type as BSD. The LevelOne Printer Server’s LPD protocol meets BSD system standards.

In the sample commands shown, printer_name is the name of the Print Queue serviced by the LevelOne Printer Server, and Spooler_directory is the name of the directory used to spool the print jobs.
