The LPD service looks for formating characters in the data stream. The
default is text so if the printer is not PCL the job will be abandoned
unless the sender tells LPD to take the binary data. There are several KB
on the MS website on configuring LPD. The only way is through the registry.
lpr /?
Sends a print job to a network printer
Usage: lpr -S server -P printer [-C class] [-J job] [-o option] [-x] [-d]
filename
Options:
-S server Name or ipaddress of the host providing lpd service
-P printer Name of the print queue
-C class Job classification for use on the burst page
-J job Job name to print on the burst page
-o option Indicates type of the file (by default assumes a text
file)
Use "-o l" for binary (e.g. postscript) files
-x Compatibility with SunOS 4.1.x and prior
-d Send data file first
This setting can also be accomplished on the service by enabling passthru on
the printer
