ot, cups question

Hi all.

I've been reading up on cups, to see if it can act as an lpd
server. From what I see, the answer is no. Can someone confirm/deny
this? Thanks.

Greg

Cups has a print server and on modern linuxes it is actually used for 
that, often there are utilities like lpd, lpq and lp which acts like the 
old ones but actually use cups.
Cups is the way to print under unix these days.

Thanks. What I was getting at though, was if cups can act as an lpd
server, (I.E. accept connections on tcp 515, using the lpd
protocol). From my reading, it looks like cups can only act as an ipp
server, accepting connections on tcp 631, using the ipp protocol, and
I wanted to confirm if my impressions are correct or not.

Yes, I think you are correct there, sorry I did not understand what you 
were asking.

You may want to research cups-lpd, as it may do what you need.

Cups is known to attach to port 515, although whether it implements the 
protocol correctly, I have no idea.

You might find this useful:
