DESCRIPTION
The lpd daemon allows AIX systems to accept print jobs from remote computers
that use the lpr/lpd printing system. If a remote system using lpd is
configured to route print jobs to an AIX system, the lpd daemon can receive
print jobs from the remote system and route them to qdaemon for printing. The
lpd daemon is started by inetd upon request and is in the inetd.conf
configuration file. The AIX lpd is not intended for use with other AIX systems
or within a single system or cluster. See the print and qdaemon pages in the
AIX Operating System Commands Reference for information on printing within a
single system or between two AIX systems.
FLAGS
The lpd daemon options are:
-d Turns on debugging. Debugging information will be written to
/tmp/lpd.out.
-l Causes lpd to log information using syslog.
