Seal in OS/2 with help LPRPORTD
The foreword.
Almost the network printer Lexmark Optra T610n having a built - in print-server with a network card(map) 10/100 Mbit/sec one year ago was bought. It was required to organize a seal from domain Lan Server c division of rights of access into a seal. Besides logic printers were necessary for different variants of a seal of PostScript-files (unilateral, bilateral, bilateral 2 in 1 on each party(side) and so on) some. As far as I know, in OS/2 the concept of the filter of a seal exists only for the program lprportd.exe, therefore for a seal report TCP/IP as the print-server has built - in lpd was chosen. That users uncontrolledly could not print, access to lpd is resolved(allowed) only for a server.Configuration on the printer.
Reports - it is left only TCP/IP LPD - access for a server and if it would be desirable, workstation of the manager.Configuration on a server.
We start TCP/IP Configuration, in section Printing it is indicated Maximum Number of LPD Ports - on number of network printers on which we want to print, and in this case this number sootvetstuet to logic printers, that is quantity(amount) of turns on a seal with various filters.Now we start a demon lprportd.exe-s ( not bad to place it(him) in TCP/IP Autostart) then we start to create printers.
We open Printer Template, we choose the driver, port \PIPE\LPDx, where x - first of free ports in a series \PIPE\LPD0...
Further we fill \PIPE\LPDx Settings. 
Print Destination:
LPD Server - IP the address or a name of the printer, LPD printer - a name of turn on LPD a server or that is pleasant, in our case. If additional processing PostScript of a file we include option Enable Data Filter is necessary. Pay attention to a double straight line sleshi instead of the opposites - heritage UNIX;) Further we speak OK and the printer is ready. Now it is possible to work with it(him), as with the usual printer. In case it is used PostScript the printer, it is necessary to make the following in addition:
To open properties svezhesozdannogo the printer. On bookmark Printer Driver to choose next Properties. To disconnect option Enable mode switching. krapivin@itep.ru
