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