What does LPD do?
LPD stands for Line Printer Daemon, is a general TCP/IP daemon on UNIX networks that is used for receiving and spooling print jobs on a print server. … Computers running Windows NT can also use the LPR command to send print jobs to a Windows NT server running LPD.
What port does LPD use?
The PaperCut LPD Service listens on port 515 by default, so IT System Administrators need to ensure network security services or the print server’s firewall don’t interfere with connections to this port. The installation wizard also checks for the Windows LPD Service and disables it to prevent port conflicts.
