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
