Remote Line Printing (RLP)
allows UNIX systems on a network to send print jobs to other
UNIX systems that have attached printers.
The only restrictions on the use of RLP are:
Printer classes are not supported.
Not all line printer command options are supported on the client.
RLP allows print jobs to be submitted from a client and
printed by a print server, but it does not support remote administration
of printers. To administer a printer attached to
a print server, do one of the following:
Log in to the print server at the console.
Log in to the print server from another machine using terminal emulation.
Issue printer administration commands from another machine using
the
rcmd(TC)
command.
