Enable Line Printer Remote (LPR) and Line Printer Daemon (LPD)

The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) and Line Printer Remote (LPR) protocols provide printer spooling and network print server functionality for UNIX-based systems, such as HP-UX, Linux, and Macintosh.

1. Access the Embedded Web Server and log in to the Embedded Web Server as a System Administrator.

2. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Connectivity > Setup.

3. For LPR/LPD Protocol, click Edit.

4. For Protocol, select Enabled.

5. For Port Number, type a value.
   
   Note: The default port number is 515.
   
   

6. To allow multiple printer languages in a single job, for PDL Switching, select Enabled. This option allows the printer to process a single print job that contains two or more printer languages. An example is a PostScript print job with a PCL header.

7. For PDL banner page attributes to override LPR control file attributes for job name and owner, select Enabled. This feature allows you to replace the standard information displayed on a banner page with the user name and job name from the print job.

8. For Place temporary hold on which jobs, select an option:

   • None (Use printer's default banner sheet job name if data file 1st): This option omits a printer wait time to receive the job control information. This selection can cause banner page information to print incorrectly.

   • Only those with data file received 1st: This option holds the job when the data file for the job is received first. This option ensures that the printer waits to receive the control file information to print banner page details correctly.

   • All (consistent with older implementations): This option puts all jobs on hold. The job prints when the printer receives all job data. This setting can cause jobs to print slowly but results in accurate banner page information.

9. Click Save.

10. Logout of System Administrator mode.
