Configuring for TCP/IP Network Printing

Most computers that support TCP/IP network printing use the Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol. This protocol was originally part of the Berkeley Soft- ware Distribution (BSD) version of the UNIX operating system. Remote LPD was soon adopted as a de facto standard. As a result, Remote LPD is now supported by most versions of the UNIX operating system and by many TCP/IP packages available for other operating systems. Configuration of Remote LPD printing varies among vendors who supply TCP/IP.

You may also use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for printing. Typically FTP is used to transfer files between computers on a TCP/IP network. The Network Print Server simply prints the files it receives from FTP.

Remote Print Queue Name

The Remote Print Queue Name determines which printer port will service the print job. The Remote Print Queue Name may also be used to specify ASCII print jobs. Both Remote LPD and FTP have provisions for specifying a Remote Print Queue Name.

The Network Print Server looks at the last character of the Remote Print Queue Name to determine which printer port will service the print job. All Remote Print
