Interoperability Accessing BSD printers
7.2 Accessing BSD printers
This section describes how you can allow access to the printers of a BSD
spooler from within Xprint V7.0 via the fast filter bsd.
7.2.1 Basic information
You can allow users of the local Xprint V7.0 domain access to BSD printers
which meet the following requirements:
– the printers are defined on a computer with a BSD printer spooler (e.g. a
BSD system, Novell Netware
®
, Windows NT
®
Servers, Windows 2000
®
Servers, LINUX etc.)
– an lpd process is running on the remote system which allows other
computers to use the printers defined there
– your Xprint V7.0 domain is connected to the remote system via a network
and the TCP/IP protocol (can be checked with the ping command)
– at least one of the systems in your Xprint V7.0 domain is allowed to use the
printers connected to the remote system (e.g. by the file /etc/hosts.lpd
on the remote system or the remote BSD system).
If these requirements are met, you can establish a connection to these printers
which allows print jobs to be sent to them from within the local Xprint V7.0
domain. The following figure illustrates the basic structure of such a connection:
