7.4UNIX Printing

The Network Interface Board can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes:

ŸHost-based lpd where a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations and print data is communicated to the Network Interface Board via a TCP/IP port or,

ŸPrinter-based lpd where the printer appears as a host running a line printer daemon.

In general, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD UNIX systems, requiring an entry in the printcap file once the Network Interface Board has its IP information. Some UNIX System V systems have restrictions on support of remote lpr/lpd printers, requiring that the host- based lpr/lpd approach be used. For many operating systems, you have the option of using host-resident printing or print server-resident printing. Each mode has certain advantages.

ŸThe host-resident method can print the username and filename on its banner page; the print server-resident method prints a banner page with the host's name.

ŸThe print server-resident method requires you to configure the printer only one time, when you install the print server. The host-resident method requires that a printing daemon be installed on every host that you want to be able to print jobs.

Note: The Network Interface Board will also operate with other host-resident print supervisor/spooler programs that present a print image to the printer over a TCP/IP port. The base TCP/IP port number can be changed via Telnet, or the Network Interface Board
