TCP/IP Configuration-17

The Print Server Card can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes: 

• Host-based lpd where a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or more worksta-

tions and print data is communicated to the Print Server Card via a TCP/IP port, or, 

• Printer-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 Print Server Card 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.

• The 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.

• The 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 Print Server Card 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 Print Server Card HTML setup 

pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser. Remember, the actual port is always one 

higher than the base port number. The Status and Configuration page indicates the 

actual port number.
