Overview
BARR/PRINT TCP/IP is a software module of the Barr Enterprise
Print Server that allows you to receive data from any
TCP/IP-based host (mainframes, UNIX computers, AS/400s, and so
on) with LPD/LPR or with direct socket connections.
The Barr
Enterprise Print Server with BARR/PRINT TCP/IP appears as a remote 4.3 BSD
printer to the UNIX host. It implements the LPD to service LPRs from BSD 4.3
and System V hosts, or any type of system that provides LPR emulation. BARR/PRINT TCP/IP also provides a direct socket connection, which might be
more appropriate depending on your needs.
