In order to use printers with FreeBSD, you will need to set them up to work with the Berkeley line printer spooling system, also known as the LPD spooling system. It is the standard printer control system in FreeBSD. This section introduces the LPD spooling system, often simply called LPD.
If you are already familiar with LPD or another printer spooling system, you may wish to skip to section Setting up the spooling system.
