The p910nd project is a printer daemon designed for diskless workstations, providing an efficient solution for managing printers in low-resource environments.
Moreover, this protocol is supported by the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) and is known as the AppSocket protocol. Its scheme is called socket://. LPRng also supports this protocol, and the syntax for it is lp=remotehost'00 in /etc/printcap.
In this latest release (Version 0.92), Dave Brown's patch has been added to reduce CPU usage for printers that are chatty on the reverse channel. This patch is beneficial for low-powered platforms like embedded routers. In summary, p910nd offers a reliable and effective solution for diskless workstations that need direct printing capabilities. Its compatibility with CUPS and LPRng ensures that users can seamlessly integrate it into their workflows.
