WinLPR Description

The Windows Line Printer Daemon is an application that runs on your Windows PC, allowing your PC to accept print jobs from any Line Printer Protocol host. This means you can have your mainframe, UNIX servers, NT servers all print to your PC even if you're not on the same physical or virtual network. You don't need to share your printer with your NT server, and you don't need complex resource sharing software for UNIX. The LPR protocol is an Internet standard supported by UNIX, NT, and most mainframe systems. It allows any machine that speaks LPR to talk to another machine to arrange a print job. To accept a print job from a remote host, you need to have a daemon running. The daemon is a small program (WinLPR in this case) which listens for print jobs from a host or hosts, and accepts and prints them. The daemon must be running to work properly, but it requires no user intervention to function. WinLPR is also pretty small, simple and easy-to-use.
