LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol (RFC 1179)
RFC 1179 defines a standard method by which print jobs can be transferred using the TCP/IP protocol between hosts. Each host with printer daemon running waits for print jobs through TCP port #515.
Printing with and without formatting
Xlpd supports to print with formatting for text files such as fonts and margin setting. The PS (PostScript) files are printed directly without formatting.
Manipulating print jobs
Xlpd allows to delete and save print jobs. Also you can see the jobs list for print job status.
