What are the differences between Net Print/400 and LPR/LPD?
Solution Net Print/400 allows for seamless ad-hoc printing of AS/400 reports over the Internet. It does not require complex host or client setup to generate reports. Interfaces exist for simple report selection. LPR/LPD report printing involves the installation and configuration of a Line Print Daemon on the PC to receive reports. It also requires the assistance of an AS/400 administrator to configure an output queue that will act as a Line Print Requester to send all reports from that output queue to the LP Daemon. LPR/LPD must be configured on the AS/400 and PC before printing can take place. There is also no simple way to make LPR/LPD dynamic for report printing at various clients.
