Features of LPD

This is a print application that can be used on Windows, Mac OS X, UNIX, and Linux.
LPD is generally used for a TCP/IP network environment.
Advantages
LPD printing is the most common network printing method supported by Windows, Mac OS X, UNIX, and Linux as standard.
You can also print a banner page.
Even if you should restart the printer while the printer is printing, the print data is guaranteed because the print job is retransmitted (when a byte count is specified on printing).
Disadvantage
You cannot obtain the detailed information about print jobs.
Usage Example
When sharing the printer by multiple users (because it is easy to identify the owner of the print data by using the banner page)
When there are a variety of computers (operating systems) in the same network environment, and you want to print using only one print application
