cups-lpd \- receive print jobs and report printer status to lpd clients
26
\fIcups-lpd\fR is the CUPS Line Printer Daemon ("LPD")
27
mini-server that supports legacy client systems that use the LPD
28
protocol. \fIcups-lpd\fR does not act as a standalone network
29
daemon but instead operates using the Internet "super-server"
30
\fIinetd(8)\fR or \fIxinetd(8)\fR. If you are using \fIinetd\fR,
31
add the following line to the \fIinetd.conf\fR file to enable the
32
\fIcups-lpd\fR mini-server:
36
printer stream tcp nowait lp @CUPS_SERVERBIN@/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd \\
37
-o document-format=application/octet-stream
41
\fBNote:\fR If you are using Solaris 10 or higher, you must run
42
the \fIinetdconv(1m)\fR program to register the changes to the
45
If you are using the newer \fIxinetd(8)\fR daemon, create a file
46
named \fI/etc/xinetd.d/cups\fR containing the following lines:
58
server = @CUPS_SERVERBIN@/daemon/cups-lpd
59
server_args = -o document-format=application/octet-stream
66
Sets the CUPS server (and port) to use.
70
Disables reverse address lookups; normally \fIcups-lpd\fR will
71
try to discover the hostname of the client via a reverse DNS
76
Inserts options for all print queues. Most often this is used to
77
disable the "l" filter so that remote print jobs are filtered as
78
needed for printing; the examples in the previous section set the
79
"document-format" option to "application/octet-stream" which
80
forces autodetection of the print file format.
82
\fIcups-lpd\fR performs well with small numbers of clients and
83
printers. However, since a new process is created for each
84
connection and since each process must query the printing system
85
before each job submission, it does not scale to larger
86
configurations. We highly recommend that large configurations
87
use the native IPP support provided by CUPS instead.
89
\fIcups-lpd\fR currently does not perform any access control
90
based on the settings in \fIcupsd.conf(5)\fR or in the
91
\fIhosts.allow(5)\fR or \fIhosts.deny(5)\fR files used by TCP
92
wrappers. Therefore, running \fIcups-lpd\fR on your server will
93
allow any computer on your network (and perhaps the entire
94
Internet) to print to your server.
96
While \fIxinetd\fR has built-in access control support, you
97
should use the TCP wrappers package with \fIinetd\fR to limit
98
access to only those computers that should be able to print
101
\fIcups-lpd\fR is not enabled by the standard CUPS distribution.
102
Please consult with your operating system vendor to determine
103
whether it is enabled on your system.
105
\fIcups-lpd\fR does not enforce the restricted source port
106
number specified in RFC 1179, as using restricted ports does not
107
prevent users from submitting print jobs. While this behavior is
108
different than standard Berkeley LPD implementations, it should
109
not affect normal client operations.
111
The output of the status requests follows RFC 2569, Mapping
112
between LPD and IPP Protocols. Since many LPD implementations
113
stray from this definition, remote status reporting to LPD
114
clients may be unreliable.
