NAME
       cups-lpd - receive print jobs and report printer status to lpd clients

SYNOPSIS
       cups-lpd [ -o option=value ]

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

	   printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd

       If you are using the newer xinetd(8) daemon, add the following lines to
       the xinetd.conf file:

	   service printer
	   {
	       socket_type = stream
	       protocol = tcp
	       wait = no
	       user = lp
	       server = /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
	   }

OPTIONS
       The -o option to cups-lpd 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:

	   printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd	       -o document-format=application/octet-stream

       The example shown resets the document format to	be  application/octet-
       stream, which forces auto-detection of the print file type.

COMPATIBILITY
       cups-lpd	 does  not enforce the restricted source port number specified
       in RFC 1179, as using restricted	 ports	does  not  prevent  determined
       users from submitting print jobs. While this behavior is different than
       standard Berkeley LPD implementations,  it  should  not	affect	normal
       client operations.

       The output of the status requests follows RFC 2569, Mapping between LPD
       and IPP Protocols. Since many LPD implementations stray from this defi‐
       nition, remote status reporting to LPD clients may be unreliable.
