Xlpd

Xlpd is a super handy tool that makes printing jobs from remote servers a whole lot easier. It uses the LPD protocol to gather all those print jobs and sends them right to your local printer. Think of it as a line printer daemon that works smoothly across different operating systems without needing extra setup on the remote end.

Centralized Printing Management

If you're dealing with lots of printing requests from different servers, Xlpd has got your back! It's perfect for managing those remote requests and redirecting them to your local printers. No more juggling between multiple devices!

Print Job Manager Features

But wait, there's more! Xlpd isn't just about redirecting prints; it can also act as a print job manager right on your computer. You can schedule prints and keep track of the queue like a pro. With its flexibility, you can pull info from various servers and even get email notifications when it's in use. Plus, you can preview files before printing to make sure everything looks good!

User-Friendly Interface

The interface is designed with several tabs that show individual queues. This way, remote users can send their files to specific queues, making document organization super easy. You can create new queues and set priorities so you know what needs to be printed first.

Easy Configuration Options

You can access the configuration window either through the menu or by double-clicking on any tab you want to manage. Here, you have options like changing the LPD port, setting up logging programs, and enabling email notifications by saving the SMTP address.

Activity Logs for Tracking

Xlpd comes with an awesome log function that automatically keeps track of all activities. You can see what actions happened, when they took place, job IDs, queue names, and even short messages if available! Plus, filtering entries by queue name or category makes it easy to find what you're looking for.

If you're ready to simplify your printing process with Xlpd, you'll love how efficient it makes everything!
