PaperCut NG/MF ships with its own LPD service that supports support cross platform printing. This service provides end-to-end support for customers who use PaperCut NG/MF and LPD.
The PaperCut LPD Service allows print administrators to connect disparate systems to a Windows print server, allowing the server to accept jobs from
Mac Clients/Servers
Linux Clients/Servers
AS400 Servers
Mainframes
…any other client or server that supports LPR printing.
The PaperCut LPD Service also allows administrators to continue to support methods that bypass any authentication requirements to print to a Windows Server. Conversely, as a legacy protocol, LPR has limited security and administrators should make sure that LPD complies with their organization’s security policies
