.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBcups-lpd\fR is the CUPS Line Printer Daemon ("LPD") mini-server that
-supports legacy client systems that use the LPD protocol.
-\fBcups-lpd\fR does not act as a standalone network daemon but instead
-operates using the Internet "super-server" \fBinetd(8)\fR. Add the
-following line to the \fBinetd.conf\fR file to enable the
-\fBcups-lpd\fR daemon:

}
.fi

-The /path/to/cups/daemon is usually /usr/lib/cups/daemon or
-/usr/libexec/cups/daemon, depending on the operating system.
-Consult the cupsd.conf file for the local setting.
.SH OPTIONS
-The \fI-o\fR option to \fBcups-lpd\fR inserts options for all
-print queues. Most often this is used to disable the "l" filter
-so that remote print jobs are filtered as needed for printing;
-the examples in the previous section set the "document-format"
-option to "application/octet-stream" which forces autodetection
-of the print file format.

.SH PERFORMANCE
-\fBcups-lpd\fR performs well with small numbers of clients and
+\fIcups-lpd\fR performs well with small numbers of clients and
printers. However, since a new process is created for each
connection and since each process must query the printing system
before each job submission, it does not scale to larger
configurations. We highly recommend that large configurations
use the native IPP support provided by CUPS instead.
.SH SECURITY

+\fIcups-lpd\fR currently does not perform any access control
based on the settings in \fIcupsd.conf(5)\fR or in the
-\fIhosts.allow(5)\fR or \fIhosts.deny\fR files used by TCP

Internet) to print to your server.

-\fBcups-lpd\fR is not enabled by the standard CUPS distribution.
+\fIcups-lpd\fR is not enabled by the standard CUPS distribution.
Please consult with your operating system vendor to determine

+whether it is enabled on your system.
.SH COMPATIBILITY
-\fBcups-lpd\fR does not enforce the restricted source port
+\fIcups-lpd\fR does not enforce the restricted source port
number specified in RFC 1179, as using restricted ports does not
prevent users from submitting print jobs. While this behavior is
different than standard Berkeley LPD implementations, it should
stray from this definition, remote status reporting to LPD
clients may be unreliable.
