NAME

       rlpdaemon - daemon for queuing, displaying, removing and altering remote spool requests and writing remote messages

SYNOPSIS

       logfile]

DESCRIPTION

       is  a  LP  daemon  (spool area handler) for remote spool requests.  is normally invoked at boot time from the file or started by inetd(1M),
       when necessary.	runs on a system that receives requests to be printed.	transfers files to the spooling area, displays the queue,  removes
       jobs from the queue, or alters jobs in the queue.

       is also used as a server process to write a message on the user's terminal, upon receiving a request from a remote system.

   Options
       Prevent	   from remaining after a request is processed.  This is required if is started from inetd(1M).  When is invoked with this option,
		   error messages and valid requests received from the network are logged to either or logfile specified with option.

       Cause	   to log error messages and valid requests received from the network to the file This can be useful for debugging.

       Change the file used for writing error messages
		   and valid requests received from the network to the file to logfile.

       When is started by inetd(1M), access control is provided via the file to allow or prevent a host from making requests.  When is not started
       by inetd(1M), all requests must come from one of the machines listed in the file or When is used for access, the user name should be

       The following entry should exist in for remote spooling:

	      printer	      515/tcp	      spooler

   Control File Processing
       The  subsystem  expects that the control file associated with each request contain the datafile line entry (starting with a lower case let-
       ter) indicating the file to be printed, and an associated unlink datafile entry (U entry).  The actual filename (N entry) for this datafile
       line  entry  can  be  above or below the datafile line entry.  If multiple copies of a file has to be printed, for example copies, then the
       datafile line entry should be repeated times in succession.  may reorder or insert the U entries in the control file such that the datafile
       line entry and the U entry will be in succession for each file to be printed.

EXAMPLES

       To start from invoke the command:

       To start from the following line should be included in the file

WARNINGS

       If the remote system is the same as the local system and was not started by inetd(1M), the local system name be included in file

NAME

       accept, reject - allow/prevent LP destination queuing requests

SYNOPSIS

       destination ...

       destination ... destination ...] ...

DESCRIPTION

       The command permits the command (see lp(1)) to accept printing requests for each named LP printer or printer class destination queue.

       The  command causes the command to reject subsequent printing requests for each named destination queue.  Requests already queued will con-
       tinue to be processed for printing by the scheduler (see lpsched(1M)).

       Use the command (see lpstat(1)) to find the status of destination queues.

       For an overview of LP command interactions, see lp(1).

   Options
       The command can have the following option.

	      Specifies a string that is used to explain why the
			     command is not accepting requests for a destination.  reason applies to all queues mentioned up to the  next  option.
			     If  reason  or  is  omitted,  the default reason is "".  The maximum length of reason is 80 bytes.  reason message of
			     length greater than 80 bytes is truncated to 80 bytes.

			     reason is reported by the command and by the command when users direct requests to a rejected destination.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
       The variable determines the language in which messages are displayed.  If is not specified or is set to the empty string,  it  defaults	to
       "C" (see lang(5)).

       If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, all internationalization variables default to "C" (see environ(5)).

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multibyte character code sets are supported.

EXAMPLES

       These examples assume you have a system with two printers named and and one class named that includes both printers.

   Example 1
       To allow all destinations to accept print requests:

   Example 2
       To reject requests to the class destination, requiring users to choose a printer:

   Example 3
       To reject requests to the individual printer destinations, requiring all requests to go through the class destination:

WARNINGS

       and operate on the local system only.
