Winlpd Single PC License includes an LPR Client and an LPD
Server for Windows 95/98/Me and Windows 2000/NT4.0. LPR client is used to print
from Windows to LPD enabled network printers or printers attached to Unix machines.

to your Windows printer.LPD Server of Winlpd has an interface similar to the
Printers folder in your Windows 95 or Windows NT machine. Once the user has
installed Winlpd application it starts automatically and keeps listening for
requests from remote machines. Winlpd can be easily configured after installation
to run as a service on Windows95/98/me and on Windows 2000/NT 4.0. This helps
in making LPD services available even if there is no user logged in. This feature
is not available in the demo version of the software.
