LPD Interface Features

The LPD Interface does the following:

Receives print requests from anywhere to any CA Spool SNA-, PSF- or TCP/IP-attached printer, so CA Spool can be used as an Enterprise Print Server.
Provides support for query job status and removes print from any LPQ and LPRM supporting platform.
Avoids double spooling completely, even with the data file being received before the control file.
Receives and passes reports from anywhere to CA View, CA Deliver, CA Dispatch, and CA Bundl for report splitting, bundling, distribution, printing, archiving and viewing.
Preserves and maps LPR print attributes into mainframe report attributes.
Creates self-contained manageable reports and print files.
Provides automatic recognition of ASCII Text, AFP, PCL, PostScript, PDF, and binary print data-streams.
Provides automatic data translation of ASCII text files into EBCDIC text files with full codepage support.
Supports the AFP output from the Windows AFP Printer Driver.
Provides optimal LPD performance; minimizes double spooling.
Provides generic configuration support, which minimizes printer queue administration.
Supports decryption of AES Rijndael encrypted print data, so encrypted print data can be received through TCP/IP from a remote CA Spool system.
Includes USS LP/LPSTAT/CANCEL functional replacement commands, which interface directly to CA LPD or CA Spool LPD Interface.
