LPD

The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol is used to provide print spooling and network print-server functionality for operating systems such as HP-UX, Linux®, and MAC OS X.
Note: For information on setting up print queues on your client system, refer to the documentation for your client system.

ENABLING LPD

To enable the LPD protocol:

  1. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Connectivity > Port Settings.

  2. For LPD, select Enabled.

 Note: Disabling LPD affects clients printing to the device over TCP/IgP using the LPR printing port.

  1. Click Apply.

CONFIGURING LPD

To configure the Line Printer Daemon protocol:

  1. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > LPD.

  2. Type an LPD port number or use the default port number, 515.

  3. For Connection Timeout, type the timeout information.

  4. For Maximum Number of Sessions, type a number.

  5. If required, for TCP-MSS Mode, select Enabled.

  6. If TCP-MSS mode is enabled, for IPv4, type the IP addresses for Subnet 1, Subnet 2, and Subnet 3.

    Note: TCP-MSS settings are common for LPD and Port 9100.

  1. Click Apply.

Raw TCP/IP Printing

Raw TCP/IP is a printing method used to open a TCP socket-level connection over Port 9100. This connection is used to stream a print-ready file to the device input buffer. The connection closes after sensing an End-Of-Job character in the PDL or after the expiration of a preset timeout value. Port 9100 does not require an LPR request from the computer or the use of an LPD running on the device. In Windows, the Standard TCP/IP port is port 9100.

ENABLING PORT 9100

    Note: Before you enable Port 9100, enable TCP/IP.

To enable port 9100:

  1. In the Embedded Web Server, click Connectivity > Port Settings.

  2. For Port 9100, select Enabled.

  3. Click Apply.

IPP

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is used for remote printing and managing print jobs.

ENABLING IPP

To enable IPP:

  1. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Connectivity > Port Settings.

  2. For IPP, select Enabled.

  3. Click Apply.

CONFIGURING IPP

To configure IPP printing:

  1. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > IPP.

  2. For Add Port Number (IPP), type the port number for IPP.

  3. For Add Port Number (IPPS), type the port number for Secure IPP.

  4. To enable the TBCP Filter, select Enabled.

  5. To allow only one specific user to control or delete any print job, for Administrator Mode, select Enabled.

  6. Type the Connection Timeout period. The default is 60 seconds.

  7. Click Apply.

FAQs

What is raw TCP IP printing?

Raw TCP/IP printing on the Xerox® PrimeLink® C9065/C9070 involves using Port 9100 to establish a direct TCP socket-level connection for sending print jobs. This method streams print-ready files directly to the device’s input buffer, bypassing the need for LPR requests or an LPD service. It simplifies printing by allowing direct communication with the printer, which can improve printing efficiency.

What is the standard TCP IP printing protocol?

The standard TCP/IP printing protocol on the Xerox® PrimeLink® C9065/C9070 refers to using Port 9100 to handle print jobs. This protocol enables the printer to receive print data directly over the network without requiring additional print server functions. It’s commonly used for straightforward, efficient printing and is ideal for environments where quick and direct printer communication is needed.
