LPD server options

The LPD server address option specifies the host name or IP address of the LPD server handling print.

The LPD queue name option specifies to which printer queue print data should be directed for LPD servers which service more than one printer.

The Pre-print character option specifies which characters, if any should be sent to the LPD printer before output is printed.

The Pre-print control characters are added only if the Print screen function is used or the Use print ctl for host data option is checked.

The Post-print character option specifies which characters, if any should be sent to the LPD printer after the output has been printed.

The Post-print control characters are added only if the Print screen function is used or the Use print ctl for host data option is checked.

The Transparent option requests the LPR server to send the print data directly to the printer with no formatting. This may be needed if the data coming from the host is already set up for printing on a 'real' printer or contains control sequences specific to the lpd printer you are using.

This option may be used in combination with the Use print ctl for host data, the Pre-print character and the Post-print character options.

Use print ctrls for host data option. Glink will only supply any configured pre- and post-print control characters when doing the Print screen function. If you want these also to be applied to host data then check this option. Note that this is only useful when the host sends complete data blocks.
