Xlpd

Xlpd allows you to centralize all the printing jobs received from remote servers via the LPD protocol and redirect them to the local printer. The tool acts a line printer daemon, which can easily be configured on multiple operating systems with no additional setup on the remote side.

Xlpd is a suitable tool that allows you to gather all the printing jobs sent over to your station via LPD protocol, from other servers. It is a handy program when you need to manage remote requests and redirect them to the local printing devices.

However, Xlpd can also work as a print job manager for your computer, allowing you to schedule prints and handle the queue. It features high flexibility in centralizing information from across multiple servers and can send a notification to your email, when the program is being used. You can preview the files before processing them.

Xlpd features several tabs, displayed in its interface, which represent the individual queues. Remote users can send the files to the dedicated queue, which can help the organizing of documents much easier.

You can easily create new queues and set their priorities so that you can manage pending jobs. The configuration window can be accessed from the designated menu or simply by double-clicking the desired tab. You can change the LPD port, setup the logging program, as well as enable the email notification. The program can send out messages, so you only need to save the SMTP address.

Xlpd features a log function, which automatically generates the activity logs. You can thus view the actions that took place, the exact time, the job ID, queue name and a short message, if available. You may easily filter all the entries, based on the queue name, category, file names or period of usage.Xlpd is an LPD (Line Printer Daemon) application for MS Windows platforms. When applying Xlpd, your local PC with a printer becomes a print server where the print jobs from various remote systems are requested and processed in networked environment.

Xlpd helps you print remote files locally without manually downloading them into your local computer. When you are connected to a remote UNIX/Linux system with Xmanager or Xshell program and want to print some data of the remote system, just enter print command on the terminal prompt.
