AirLive WFP-151U User’s Manual

In this chapter, we will explain three main printing protocols in WFP-151U. Different
protocols can be used in different network structure for your need.

7.1 LPR Printing

LPR Printing (Line Printer Remote technology) allows users to connect to MFPs or printers
via TCP/IP for printing sharing. The computer with Windows 98SE / Me / NT / 2000 / XP /
2003 / Vista operating system can use the protocol to share printing in the network. MFP
Server can support LPR printing by default.

If you install the MFP Server in Windows 98SE/Me/NT, the MFP Server provides a tool
“Network Port Setup” that helps to add the LPR protocol to users’ computer easily. Please
refer to Chapter 10.
