The following steps enable LPD communication to send print jobs from a non-Windows server (HPe3000, AS400, Unix) to a Windows system, where the eFORMz merge process takes place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

STEP 1: Enable TCP\/IP Print Server for LPD Communication<\/h1>\n

Windows 10\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Windows Server 2008 and higher<\/h2>\n

From Server Manager:
1. Click on Add Roles.
2. Select Print and Document Services.
3. Add LPD Services.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0the LPD setup through the Standard TCP\/IP Port is blocked by Active Directory, consult\u00a0eFORMz Print from Windows Server to Network Printer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If your system gives a message that it requires administrative authority, complete the following steps instead:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open a Command Prompt window as Administrator.<\/li>\n
  2. Run the following command:\n

    dism \/online \/enable-feature \/all \/featurename:Printing-LPDPrintService<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. Close the Command Prompt window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    STEP 2: Start the TCP\/IP Print Server Service<\/h1>\n

    Confirm that the TCP\/IP Print Server Service is started:
    1. From your Windows Control Panel select Administrative Tools<\/em>.
    2. Select Services<\/em>. A listing of all services running on your Windows platform will display. Select LPD Services<\/em>.
    3. Start LPD Services if not started already and select Automatic<\/em> as the Startup Type.
