PRINTING

UTILITY

(W

INDOWS

ONLY

)

LPR is a utility that allows printing data to printers connected to the network via TCP/IP. It

is an alternative method of connecting printers instead of using the Microsoft TCP/IP port;

however, the LPR Utility offers some additional and very useful features:

>

Display printer status - print job status can be viewed, paused or cancelled.

>

Download files directly to the printer - send PRN or PostScript files directly to

the printer.

>

Redirect print jobs - send print jobs to other printers if the original printer is busy

or has an error.

>

Multicast printing - send the same print job to many printers simultaneously
