Printer configuration 79
Enable/disable the LPR/LPD
Introduction
Task for: system administrator
LPR/LPD is a platform-independent print protocol that runs over TCP/IP. The
use has spread into the desktop environment and is a de-facto industry standard
to send print jobs to network connected printers.
LPR - Line Printer Remote . LPR refers to the process that sends jobs to the
printer or print queue. The LPR software enables you to send the print jobs to
the LPD printer or print server.
LPD - Line Printer Daemon . LPD refers to the process that accepts print jobs
from the line printer daemon client (that is the LPR client). The print server
waits for the client to send print jobs.
You can define to use the LPD protocol or not (enable, disable).
Note: See test the network connection , to test the LPR print path.
When to do
You must enable or disable the LPD protocol. To define the print function of
the Océ VarioPrint 2090, enter your LPD setting before you print.
Before you begin
Start the Océ VarioPrint 2090 Settings Editor in your web browser in the
system administrator mode (see ‘Access the Océ VarioPrint 2090 Settings
Editor in system administrator mode’ on page 12).
