67 | <H2 ALIGN=CENTER>LPRng - An Enhanced Printer Spooler </H2> |
---|
68 | |
---|
69 | <P>The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and portable implementation |
---|
70 | of the Berkeley LPR print spooler functionality. While providing the same |
---|
71 | interface and meeting RFC1179 requirements, the implementation is completely |
---|
72 | new and provides support for the following features: lightweight (no databases |
---|
73 | needed) lpr, lpc, and lprm programs; dynamic redirection of print queues; |
---|
74 | automatic job holding; highly verbose diagnostics; multiple printers serving |
---|
75 | a single queue; client programs do not need to run SUID root; greatly enhanced |
---|
76 | security checks; and a greatly improved permission and authorization mechanism. |
---|
77 | </P> |
---|
78 | |
---|
79 | <P>The source software compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX systems, |
---|
80 | and is compatible with other print spoolers and network printers that use |
---|
81 | the LPR interface and meet RFC1179 requirements. </P> |
---|
82 | |
---|
83 | <P>The package comes with filters for PostScript and HP printers, as well |
---|
84 | as the usual 'dumb' printers. Note that the PostScript and HP filters do |
---|
85 | page counting and produce accounting information accounting. In addition, |
---|
86 | there are a wide variety of other filters that can do page formatting, |
---|
87 | and produce banner pages. </P> |
---|
88 | |
---|
89 | <P>For users that require compatibility with the SVR4 lp and lpstat interface, |
---|
90 | lpr and lpq will simulate this interface, eliminating the need for another |
---|
91 | print spooler package. In addition, a publically available PCNFSD server |
---|
92 | is distributed with LPRng, and interfaces with the PC/DOS/Windows based |
---|
93 | NFS style print spoolers. </P> |
---|
94 | |
---|
95 | <P>For users that require secure and/or authenticated printing support, |
---|
96 | LPRng supports Kerberos V and/or PGP authentication methods. Additional |
---|
97 | authentication support is extremely simple to add. </P> |
---|
