  25 .SH NAME
  26 cups-lpd \- receive print jobs and report printer status to lpd clients
  27 .SH SYNOPSIS
  28 .B cups-lpd
  29 .SH DESCRIPTION
  30 \fBcups-lpd\fR is the CUPS Line Printer Daemon ("LPD") mini-server that
  31 supports legacy client systems that use the LPD protocol.
  32 \fBcups-lpd\fR does not act as a standalone network daemon but instead
  33 operates using the Internet "super-server" \fBinetd(8)\fR. Add the
  34 following line to the \fBinetd.conf\fR file to enable the
  35 \fBcups-lpd\fR daemon:
  36 .br
  37 .nf
  38
  39 printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd
  40 .fi
  41 .SH COMPATIBILITY
  42 \fBcups-lpd\fR does not enforce the restricted source port number specified
  43 in RFC 1179, as using restricted ports does not prevent determined users
  44 from submitting print jobs. While this behavior is different than standard
  45 Berkeley LPD implementations, it should not affect normal client operations.
  46 .LP
  47 The output of the status requests follows RFC 2569, Mapping between
  48 LPD and IPP Protocols. Since many LPD implementations stray from this
  49 definition, remote status reporting to LPD clients may be unreliable.
