NAME
       in.lpd - BSD print protocol adaptor

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/print/in.lpd

DESCRIPTION
       in.lpd  implements the network listening service for the BSD print pro‐
       tocol specified in RFC 1179. The BSD print protocol provides  a	remote
       interface  for  systems	to  interact with a local spooling system. The
       protocol defines five standard requests from the client to the  server:
       starting	 queue	processing,  transferring print jobs, retrieving terse
       status, retrieving verbose status, and canceling print jobs.

       The in.lpd service is  managed  by  the	service	 management  facility,
       smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/network/lp

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
       requesting restart, can be performed using  svcadm(1M).	Responsibility
       for  initiating	and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M).
       Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view configuration
       information for this service. The service's status can be queried using
       the svcs(1) command.

       in.lpd uses the config/log_from_remote property to  allow  or  disallow
       remote access. The default value of this property, localhost, disallows
       remote access.

       inetd waits for connections on TCP port 515. Upon receipt of a  connect
       request,	 in.lpd is started to service the connection. Once the request
       has been filled, in.lpd closes the connection and exits.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1: Allowing Remote Access

       The following command allows remote access to in.lpd.

       # inetadm -m svc:/application/print/rfc1179:default bind_addr=""

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful completion.

       non-zero	       An error occurred.
