What is LPR printing?
Line Printer Remote (LPR) is a system that allows computer workstations connected to one network to send printing tasks, which are also connected to the network. With the printing of LPR, the connection is bound via the connection to check the transmission protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP). These connections are also used to connect separate computers with the Internet. LPR Printing has been developed at the University of California in Berkeley for its uniform information and computing system (UNIX) and quickly expanded to use other network computer systems.
LPR Printing works via Daren Line Printers (LPD), a program installed on a computer. The user sends a LPD printing job to pass on a network printer request. In cases where there is more than one network printer, LPD presents a printing job available or in the case of specialized printing tasks, LPD selects the appropriate printer. LPR Print also allowing queue or orderingKnový system that performs printing tasks sent from several computers in the network based on the order of dispatch, priority of printing tasks or a combination of both order systems.
LPR Printing allows computers to use multiple platforms to send remote printing tasks to one printer without the need for many complex configurations. Computers using different operating systems, but operating on one network, can send printing tasks to all printers acting on the same network. Another advantage of LPR printing is that it is possible to maintain an endless number of printing queues in the network printing system. LPR prints can also be used for a number of different operations in one network, even if printers and computers are located in different parts of the building.
Without LPR printing or other remote printing agent, it is unseseristic to have a direct connection between each computer and a printer. This makes it difficult, not if impossible, for more computers usedto tie the same printer. It also means that computer workstation must be placed close enough to the printer to be directly connected to the printer. Without LPR printing, computers using different operating systems must be connected to compatible printers. For a large company or organization, this may mean that you have to run and maintain a stunning number of printers.
