Net::Printer
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Perl module for directly printing to a print server/printer without
|
|
having to create a pipe to either lpr or lp. This essentially mimics
|
|
what the BSD LPR program does by connecting directly to the line
|
|
printer printer port (almost always 515), and transmitting the data
|
|
and control information to the print server.
|
|
|
|
Please note that this module only communicates with the BSD Line
|
|
Printer Daemon Protocol as described in RFC-1179. It does not
|
|
natively speak to remote print servers via SMB, Apple-Talk or
|
|
Netware. Remote print services running lpsched, such as Sun Solaris
|
|
or other Sys V-derived operating systems, will work so long as the
|
|
print spoolers are set up to understand the BSD protocol. Most modern
|
|
network-capable laser printers, such as those manufactured by HP and
|
|
LexMark, also "speak" BSD.
