Print on LPD printer

Print on LPD printer

This workflow component can be used, if you have too many printers to register them manually. The use of this component requires, that you have a license for InterFormNG2, that enables the use of an unlimited number of printers.

With this component you print directly to a LAN attached, physical printer via Line Printer Deamon (LPD). This can e.g. be used, if you want to print via print server.

 

The parameters for this component are:
