for details).
Windows provides a special LPD service to provide line printer support. The LPD service is an
older TCP/IP service that you install with the Print Services for UNIX (found in the Other Network
File and Print Services folder in the Windows Components Wizard dialog box). However, installing
the server isn??™t enough. You??™ll need to configure the LPD service to provide a number of queues
that users can use for printing. You can find an excellent procedure for performing the LPD configuration
at

.
TIP
If you??™re serious about providing Linux print services through an LPD server, you might want
to use one of the better utilities on the market. A good starting product is the SDI LPD server found
at
http://www.sdisw.com/LPD/default.htm
. This server provides a nice graphical interface
that makes it easy to manage your print queues. In addition, because this product is shareware,
you can try it before you buy it.
Once you have a printer configured to use LPD, you might wonder how to access it. The LPQ
utility lets you see the status of the printer.
