ACITS LPR Remote Printing Overview

The ACITS LPR Remote Printing Client utility provides a TCP/IP print monitor port driver for seamless Windows 95/98/Me and NT 4.0 network printing. This port driver can be used on Windows 95/98/Me and NT 4.0 to direct print jobs from Windows 95/98/Me and NT 4.0 to any printer or printer server that utlizes the LPR/LPD protocol. This package also includes a command line LPR executable program for printing jobs directly. The ACITS LPR program, called ACITSLPR.EXE, provides standard RFC 1179 interfaces and allows the -S and -P parameters to be set by way of environment variables so that drag and drop printing can be enabled for a default printer.
