Remote Host Client Printing to a Windows NT Server

Remote hosts also can print to a Windows NT printer, because Windows NT can provide an LPD service. The LPD service (lpdsvc) provides the same service that an LPD daemon on a Unix host. Because it is implemented as a service, it is controlled through Control Panel, Services. This service automatically installs when you opt to install TCP/IP print services.

Remote host systems use different commands for printing. One command that works on most systems is the LPR command. A sample command line which would work on most systems is as follows:

lpr -s NTSYSTEM -p NTPRINTER filename

For the lpr command on the remote system, specify the DNS name (or IP address) of your NT system, along with the printer name. Windows NT internally directs the print job to the specified printer.

Please refer to the documentation for your remote host system for more information.
