LPR / LPD #13

Will this be able to work with LPR printers?

tillkamppeter commented 7 months ago

With current PAPPL this is not possible, as it requires 2 parameters (IP and queue name) to set up, but the setup screen allows only one manual parameter (IP) for a backend/device.

So a feature request to PAPPL would be required to add LPD/LPR backend support.

Most legacy printers also listen on port 9100 (raw socket, check printer's web admin interface whether function is activated) and this mode IS supported by PAPPL and so by this Printer Application.
