A system running this print architecture could traditionally be identified by the use of the user command lp as the primary interface to the print system, as opposed to the BSD lpr command (though some systems provide lpr as an alias to lp). Typical user commands available to the System V printing system are: lp: the user command to print a ...
A system running this print architecture could traditionally be identified by the use of the user command lpr as the primary interface to the print system, as opposed to the System V printing system lp command. Typical user commands available to the Berkeley print system are: lpr — the user command to print; lpq — shows the current print queue
Note that the LPD queue name is case sensitive. Some modern implementations of LPD on network printers might ignore the case or queue name altogether and send all jobs to the same printer. Others have the option to automatically create a new queue when a print job with a new queue name is received. This helps to simplify the setup of the LPD ...
The Line Printer Daemon protocol/Line Printer Remote protocol (or LPD, LPR) is a network protocol for submitting print jobs to a remote printer. The original implementation of LPD was in the Berkeley printing system in the 2.10 BSD UNIX operating system in 1988; the LPRng project also supports that protocol.
The command was introduced in MS-DOS/IBM PC DOS 2.0. [17] [18] DR DOS 6.0 includes an implementation of the PRINT command. [19] In early versions of DOS, printing was accomplished using the copy command: the file to be printed was "copied" to the file representing the print device. [20] Control returned to the user when the print job completed ...
LPRng is an open-source printing system compatible with the Berkeley printing system and implemented by many open-source Unix-like operating systems. It provides printer spooling and network print server functionality using the Line Printer Daemon protocol.
It should be pointed out that the LPR protocol is not an Internet standard; the RFC only summarizes the known use. The article should possible summarize the commands and job attributes available, as well as common restrictions (e.g. no blanks possible in printer/queue names).
