To start the line printer server (LPD) automatically when TCP/IP is started, select the Autostart tab, select LPD in the Autostarted Services list box, and check the Autostart Service box under Autostart Options.
If you select the INETD Super Server Daemon as an alternative way to start LPD automatically, any LPD parameters specified on this page will be ignored.
If you choose to start LPD in a foreground session, you can check the Minimized box to minimize the OS/2 window.
When LPD is started, users on remote hosts can print files on your local printer.
If you choose to automatically start LPD in an OS/2 window foreground session, you can also specify the LPD parameters in the Parameters field.
Uncheck the Autostart Service box to disable the automatic starting of LPD when TCP/IP is started. This is the default.
If you choose to automatically start LPD without using INETD, TCP/IP can also process the following command parameters when specified from the Autostart tab:
Prints either a specific banner or none at all. banner is the optional file containing the copyright information to be printed. If you specify a banner file, that file is used as the banner. If you do not specify a banner file, a banner is not printed.
If you specify a banner file with the -b parameter, the following keywords can be used to display specific job information:
Changes the default file format from binary to text. When a client sends a print job to an LPD server, the client can specify that the job is of a particular file format.
LPD recognizes two file formats:
When LPD receives a binary file, the file is sent as is directly to the specified queue for printing. If the file received is a text file, LPD first converts each line feed (LF) to a carriage return line feed (CRLF) pair. The file is then sent to the specified queue.
If a client fails to specify a file format, or if a client specifies a format other than binary or text, LPD treats the job as if it were binary. To change the default file format from binary to text, use the -f parameter on the LPD command line.
