25 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
bd7854cb | 26 | \fIcups-lpd\fR is the CUPS Line Printer Daemon ("LPD") |
27 | mini-server that supports legacy client systems that use the LPD | |
28 | protocol. \fIcups-lpd\fR does not act as a standalone network | |
29 | daemon but instead operates using the Internet "super-server" | |
30 | \fIinetd(8)\fR or \fIxinetd(8)\fR. If you are using \fIinetd\fR, | |
31 | add the following line to the \fIinetd.conf\fR file to enable the | |
32 | \fIcups-lpd\fR mini-server: | |
ef416fc2 | 33 | .br |
34 | .nf | |
35 | ||
bd7854cb | 36 | printer stream tcp nowait lp @CUPS_SERVERBIN@/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd \\ |
ef416fc2 | 37 | -o document-format=application/octet-stream |
38 | .fi | |
39 | .LP | |
e1d6a774 | 40 | .LP |
41 | \fBNote:\fR If you are using Solaris 10 or higher, you must run | |
42 | the \fIinetdconv(1m)\fR program to register the changes to the | |
43 | inetd.conf file. | |
44 | .LP | |
bd7854cb | 45 | If you are using the newer \fIxinetd(8)\fR daemon, create a file |
46 | named \fI/etc/xinetd.d/cups\fR containing the following lines: | |
ef416fc2 | 47 | .br |
48 | .nf | |
49 | ||
50 | service printer | |
51 | { | |
52 | socket_type = stream | |
53 | protocol = tcp | |
54 | wait = no | |
55 | user = lp | |
56 | group = sys | |
57 | passenv = | |
bd7854cb | 58 | server = @CUPS_SERVERBIN@/daemon/cups-lpd |
ef416fc2 | 59 | server_args = -o document-format=application/octet-stream |
60 | } | |

ef416fc2 | 62 | .SH OPTIONS |
bd7854cb | 63 | .TP 5 |
9f5eb9be | 64 | -h hostname[:port] |
ee571f26 MS |
65 | .br |
66 | Sets the CUPS server (and port) to use. | |
67 | .TP 5 | |
89d46774 | 68 | -n |
69 | .br | |
70 | Disables reverse address lookups; normally \fIcups-lpd\fR will | |
71 | try to discover the hostname of the client via a reverse DNS | |
72 | lookup. | |
73 | .TP 5 | |
bd7854cb | 74 | -o name=value |
75 | .br | |
76 | Inserts options for all print queues. Most often this is used to | |
77 | disable the "l" filter so that remote print jobs are filtered as | |
78 | needed for printing; the examples in the previous section set the | |
79 | "document-format" option to "application/octet-stream" which | |
80 | forces autodetection of the print file format. | |
ef416fc2 | 81 | .SH PERFORMANCE |
bd7854cb | 82 | \fIcups-lpd\fR performs well with small numbers of clients and |
ef416fc2 | 83 | printers. However, since a new process is created for each |
84 | connection and since each process must query the printing system | |
85 | before each job submission, it does not scale to larger | |
86 | configurations. We highly recommend that large configurations | |
87 | use the native IPP support provided by CUPS instead. | |
88 | .SH SECURITY | |
bd7854cb | 89 | \fIcups-lpd\fR currently does not perform any access control |
ef416fc2 | 90 | based on the settings in \fIcupsd.conf(5)\fR or in the |
bd7854cb | 91 | \fIhosts.allow(5)\fR or \fIhosts.deny(5)\fR files used by TCP |
92 | wrappers. Therefore, running \fIcups-lpd\fR on your server will | |
ef416fc2 | 93 | allow any computer on your network (and perhaps the entire |
94 | Internet) to print to your server. | |
95 | .LP | |
96 | While \fIxinetd\fR has built-in access control support, you | |
97 | should use the TCP wrappers package with \fIinetd\fR to limit | |
98 | access to only those computers that should be able to print | |
99 | through your server. | |
100 | .LP | |
bd7854cb | 101 | \fIcups-lpd\fR is not enabled by the standard CUPS distribution. |
ef416fc2 | 102 | Please consult with your operating system vendor to determine |
bd7854cb | 103 | whether it is enabled on your system. |
ef416fc2 | 104 | .SH COMPATIBILITY |
bd7854cb | 105 | \fIcups-lpd\fR does not enforce the restricted source port |
ef416fc2 | 106 | number specified in RFC 1179, as using restricted ports does not |
107 | prevent users from submitting print jobs. While this behavior is | |
108 | different than standard Berkeley LPD implementations, it should | |
109 | not affect normal client operations. | |
110 | .LP | |
111 | The output of the status requests follows RFC 2569, Mapping | |
112 | between LPD and IPP Protocols. Since many LPD implementations | |
113 | stray from this definition, remote status reporting to LPD | |
114 | clients may be unreliable. | |
