Printing remotely over TCP/IP
Remote Line Printing (RLP)
allows UNIX systems on a network to send print jobs to other
UNIX systems that have attached printers.
The only restrictions on the use of RLP are:
-
Printer classes are not supported.
-
Not all line printer command options are supported on the client.
RLP allows print jobs to be submitted from a client and
printed by a print server, but it does not support remote administration
of printers. To administer a printer attached to
a print server, do one of the following:
-
Log in to the print server at the console.
-
Log in to the print server from another machine using terminal emulation.
-
Issue printer administration commands from another machine using
the
rcmd(TC)
command.
