Logical Printer A logical printer acts as a filter between the network and the physical printer. It appears to the user as a normal printer with additional characteristics. For example a UNIX/Linux workstation may only send a line feed (LF) to a shared printer that needs carriage return (CR) and LF. The logical printer can solve this problem by adding a CR whenever a line feed is detected.
