- NAME
- jd - DOS client for Direct protocol mode in PPRD
-
- SYNOPSIS
- jd [-Pn] [-Hhost] [-Bportbase] [file]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- jd is a client programs that print files to a PPRD server
- in Direct protocol mode. The job is sent as a TCP data
- stream ended by closing the connection. The advantage of
- this protocol is that the size of the job does not need to
- be known in advance, which could be used to advantage in a
- print redirector. It is more efficient because there are
- fewer transactions than in the LPD protocol.
-
- jd prints the specified file or standard input if none is
- specified.
-
- INSTALLATION
- pprd requires: a network interface card and a FTP Soft-
- ware specification Packet Driver for it, and a valid
- WATTCP configuration file, WATTCP.CFG. WATTCP.CFG must be
- in the current directory or in the directory where jd.exe
- is installed, or pointed to by the WATTCP_CFG environment
- variable.
-
- OPTIONS
- -Pn print to printer n (0 = LPT1, 1 = LPT2, 2 = LPT3,
- default 0)
-
- -Bp base of direct protocol ports is p (default 9100)
-
- -Hhost send to host (default printer).
-
- CONFIGURATION FILE SETTINGS
- The following variables can be assigned to in the

- tings.
