|title=Line Printer Daemon |purpose=Submitting print jobs to a remote printer |rfcs= |ports=515 |date={{Start date and age|1983}} |based on=[[Berkeley printing system]] }} The '''Line Printer Daemon protocol/Line Printer Remote protocol''' (or '''LPD''', '''LPR''') is a network [[printing protocol]] for submitting print jobs to a remote printer. The original implementation of LPD was in the [[Berkeley printing system]] in the [[BSD]] [[UNIX]] operating system; the [[LPRng]] project also supports that protocol. The [[Common Unix Printing System]] (or CUPS), which is more common on modern [[Linux]] distributions and also found on [[macOS]], supports LPD as well as the [[Internet Printing Protocol|Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)]]. Commercial solutions are available that also use Berkeley printing protocol components, where more robust functionality and performance is necessary than is available from LPR/LPD (or CUPS) alone (such as might be required in large corporate environments). The LPD Protocol Specification is documented in RFC 1179.{{Ref RFC|1179}}
