on the OSF implementation of the Berkeley Software Distribution
(BSD) lpr/lpd printing subsystem. It uses LPD protocol, defined
by RFC 1179, to exchange print job requests with compliant
remote hosts and printers.
- Industry standard RFC-1179 LPD protocol ensures interoperability
in heterogeneous environments.

for setting up print queues.
- Internationalized for use with users and printers in
many languages.
- Increases availability in the TruCluster
Server environment.

Software.

unsupported printers.
The LPD print system components include the lpd daemon
process, client programs for submitting, listing, and removing
print jobs, printer filter programs, and printer filter data
